My Mastodon post about it & @[email protected]’s reply linking to OpenStreetMap’s documentation with an example to find banks far away from police stations
You will never lose the cops on a freeway.
You need to clear the immediate area fast, dump the known ride and switch into something else to clear the area, then ideally repeat.
This guy robs banks.
Used to be a dickhead street racer type idiot back before every business, street corner and cop car had a 4k security camera. I pretty much gave it up when people started recording everything on their phones and uploading it to facebook.
If the cops were far enough away that they couldnt have gotten your plates your only real option is to turn a bunch of corners to break line of sight then hide the car. I used to keep a car cover stuffed under the passenger seat. Get a few blocks away throw the cover over the car and walk away. Essentially the same thing Toretto tried at the beginning of the first F&F movie, running draws attention.
