thought i'd share some photos, since i don't work for that department anymore.

You know you're having a bad day when...





the air conditioner in the crown vic i was in actually did this speed.



gig 'em aggies.





downtown dallas.







and to back up my ant pile story, i took a picture of one of the stupid things after a t-stop.



and what can i say; i'm the leader of the pack.



if i could find them, i'd shoot the person that did this. it was 18 degrees when i took this picture. i found him a good home on the day he was to be put to sleep.



this was my 'cockpit.'

This is just plain bad to the bone right here. I could think of a lot worse places to be. That's a pretty tricked out looking black rifle you've got in there too.

I'm not sure I understand what this is supposed to be. Some type of wannabe bomb or something?

I'm glad you saved the dog...and I share your sentiment about what should be done with the person that left it there.

The Carmex bomb confuses me as well.

I nominate you to light it and find out...

I'll be waaaaayyyy over here when you do...

I have to hand it to the pursuit guys...Y'all have some nice rigs!

One question...

When you're going 140-150 mph...If you have to answer or make a radio call, do you have to take your eyes off the road reach over and grab the mic, or do y'all have those VOX ear pieces that let you maintain the tried and true two hands on the wheel while doing that???

I personally would hate to have to answer one of those "Where are you" calls while going that fast...

Just curious...

that's not the hard part. i was trying to get the rifle out once running 130-135 on the highway while the stupid sling got tangled on the flashlight sleeve. THAT sucked. i ended up having to use my pistol to take down the robbery guys. i teach pursuit driving. the way i teach is shuffle steering. you can steer the car and hold the mic without having to worry about getting the cord wrapped up. it's definitely a multi-task job.

the fastest i ever chased anyone was 145. i've had that car up to 150. i assure you, public roads are not made for 100+ speeds.

the carmex was a mini bomb. i have a couple other pictures that i took around that, but some profanity prevented me from posting it. i got that from a search warrant for dope and identity theft. the postal inspector wanted to keep it so he could go light it off and see how destructive it was. i'm sure the carmex shrapnel would have been a bad deal if it went off unknowingly. i know he's still around, so i guess it wasn't too bad.

I recognize Kevin's Camaro from Northlake PD. His car is serious business (even has nitrous on it).

it WAS serious business. they made him take it out of service. i don't know if he's still getting vehicles from frank kent or not though. haven't talked to him in a few months.

My old 2000 B4C Camaro, courtesy of Texas DPS:

I'm with you on the dog...and his former owner.

Sweet! You used to work for Richland Hills....man what a small world! Buddy of mine worked there..now he is over at NRHPD where all my buddies are.
