Previous knowledge of whether or not the camera was running is completely irrelevant to the situation at hand. It should have no bearing on an officer’s actions.

I’m not here to comment on how the guy was riding or what the cop did but I’ll say this, on a sportbike (with the near useless mirrors) on a fun run like that it would be very easy to unknowingly “run” from a cop, especially an unmarked Camaro with the less intense cop lights. Even if I saw the Camaro behind me I’d…

I have respect for law enforcement, but what happened here does not paint cops in a good light.

Why the hate for lane-splitting? I’ve never understood it. Are you just jealous or mad because someone is getting “ahead of you”. Be honest. BTW I dont ride a bike.

Why do I feel like everyone is underestimating the effectiveness of Russia’s campaign? Assad was close to collapse before they intervened. And now the rebels are on the defensive and in fact they will probably lose Latakia next month. The Russians bombing of the strategic city of Salma (in Latakia) allowed the regime…

LOL, coming from the country that killed what, close to a million civilians in the last decade? I know I know - seeing your government-funded terrorists being blown up must be heartbreaking for you. Should’ve used the money to buy a water treatment plant for Flint - the world was hoping the next generation of…

As the whole tree hugging movement pushes for electric cars they continue to overlook the facts. Making electricity, for the most part in the US, is done by burning coal or use of atomic power. Both of these come with an entirely different set of problems. Adding everyones car to the electrical grid would require us…

I have no idea why Jalopnik writers love this car so much. It is a Scion FR-S with an engine swap and an arcane torque converter transmission. This looks like a car you buy when you have a mid-life crisis but don’t want any actual attention.

Several US allies already have airstrips built on claimed islands and atolls int he South China Sea.

The claim to sovereignty is stronger if it’s not just for military use. That’s why the Philippines and Vietnam have “civilians” living on the islands they took.

She is truly a scary person. Lying right through her teeth, nothing she says or does can be trusted. We’re screwed if she gets elected.

So let’s get this straight, the tippy top trim level of a performance pony car puts down slightly more horsepower than the base model sports car slotted above it? ......ummmm.....who cares? The Corvette still probably puts the power down better and is also probably still faster because it’s lighter. Also, I doubt many…

Every time I get involved in this conversation, I feel a little dirty. I mean... I feel like the cabbies have a legitimate grivance, but when I try to articulate that I feel like I’m defending cabbies and frankly, they don’t deserve that.

Typical Camry driver.

Let’s institute ban on all cars. After all it’s a deadly weapon in the hand of morons, thousands die needlessly each year. Let's regulate. Liberal logic here.

So... I guess the US and Turkey are the assholes o’ the day.

It is challenging to envision bringing Russia into a coalition when they are dumb-bombing cities via helicopter.

Ragginger looks to be a bit of a menace, tbh. After getting a good start, he is definitely holding up the people behind him, then cuts the course (and in so doing, gains a lot of positions he should have given back but didn’t), arguably re-enters unsafely, and it is no time at all before everyone is caught back up and…

he may have been part of the cause of the madness when he re-enterred the track at a point and from a location that the other drivers probably did not expect him.

Gahhhhhhhhh. Great job to Marquez for not trying to make a pass on Lorenzo, and letting Pedrosa through. I hate everyone. Except Rossi.
