On the streets of Chicago last night
-
Piloting a white Dodge Challenger SRT, he practically begs Chicago police officers and Illinois State Police troopers to pull him over. When they do try, he compliantly rolls to a stop—sometimes—then jets away as the cops step out of their squad car to approach him.
And when the cops don’t try, he almost sounds disappointed.
“He ain’t even gonna pull me over, gang. He not even gonna pull me over, bro,” the driver pouts as an unmarked squad car moseys by.
With the squad sitting a couple of lanes over at a red light, the driver steps out of his sports car and walks to the trunk, lowering his phone camera to reveal his license plate. It’s a custom-made placard bearing his Instagram handle and a warning for cops: “DON’T CHASE BOY.”
On Instagram, accompanied by hashtags like #highspeedchase, #comegetme, #willrun, and #dontchaseboys, UnknownDriver762 posts video highlights of failed police pursuits, successful stunts, and clips he receives from fans who spot him on the street.
For added drama, there’s a camera mounted on a pole on the Challenger’s trunk. It rotates to give exterior views of the action.

A thirty round clip of steel core into his trunk might get his attention. If he's still alive, that is.

It does help. I knew a guy who had a semi trying to run him off the road - wouldn't let him pass. After a while, the truck seemed to be giving up on the game as they went over a bridge. As he pulled up next to the trailer of the truck, the truck again started to make the move to push him off the bridge. He had a 9mm under the seat and put a few rounds into the truck. Truck driver decided it might not be a good idea to continue with the game.
It's also true in Texas. Drivers are generally pretty calm - not a lot of horn honking - cuz people keep guns in their cars - and one doesn't want needless bloodshed.

Texas also has a slogan that's almost a mantra, Drive Friendly.
It's a good way to be. I've been driving on a two-lane farm-to-market road in Texas and have slower moving traffic pull off on the shoulder to let me pass, sometimes even without on-coming traffic.
