Car chases are stupid and unnecessary (except in movies!), but fuck that guy.

He was wanted for malicious communication. A more British offense I have never heard.

They probably would have stopped chasing him if he would have just been polite and asked the operator how their day was going first

Malicious communications could be threats of actual or grievous bodily harm. Death threats, etc... under the misuse of telecommunications act (officially called the Malicious Communications Act 2003, section 127 bans grossly offensive, obscene, indecent or menacing messages being sent), he could be banned from owning a mobile phone, land line, use of the internet, etc...
In recent years it’s been used more seriously to combat trolls, etc... but has been a thing for quite a few years.

No, no, you just committed one count of malicious digital communication. He posted a nasty letter about someone’s mother’s aunt’s dog to the dog’s mother’s owner’s daughter.

They can prevent you from owning a mobile phone and a land line for trolololing? That seems like a law that could be m is used very easily.

Even in city centers I often get up to 40 mph, but I also live in a plac e with really wide streets. Based on the video, he was more of an angry commuter than a joy rider.
My local city center actually recently completed a comprehensive road narrowing project so people would slow down and stop getting confused by off center one way junctions and mind pedestrians.

It includes t rolling! But not the odd message, but several messages that are threatening, abusive, may incite violence, threats of bodily arm, racist, homophobic, etc...
If it’s the odd bit here and there you may get a knock on the door by the police, to say, hey, we’ve seen your post, take it down, any further stuff may result in you going to court, etc...
It’s taken seriously and police don’t just fire it about, it’s also put to senior officers, put to the Crown Prosecution Service.
In the U.K. we aren't gung ho with the law, it's used when it's needed. Each part of each case is investigated on both sides, etc... Such as we the recipient provoking a response, was something else happening, etc...

I've definitely hit 40-50 downtown Chicago. 60+ if you count Lower Wacker. Still wasn’t as fast as some of the taxis.

I wish people had as much restraint and discretion with the law he re as what you described. It seems law enforcement is one big money making operation for a select few that causes everyone else in the community and on the force to be put in a compromising situation.

Downtown Atlanta is often 4 or more lanes wide going the same direction so I can see that. But the roads are also hilly, curvy, and deeply confusing so you may want to slow down a little bit to make sure you don't find yourself driving the wrong way down a one way street.

A lot of streets in the Loop are 3 lanes. The real racing is away from there - where a lot of streets are 1 lane each way, but widen to 2 at intersections for people turning. But those turn lanes are mostly used as passing lanes when possible.

It must be remembered that while it’s the police that does the investigating with the help of telecommunication companies and social media companies, etc... it’s the actual telecommunications companies that do the banning. The police can make the case, approach the companies, etc... but it’s the communications companies that do the banning and the police enforce it, etc...
It’s investigated properly, etc... unfortunately, it’s the Crown Prosecution Service that decides whether it’s I’m the public interest to prosecute and assess the likelihood of a prosecution from it. So 30% of cases are dropped on their say so. So the police have to make a stronger, tighter case to get a conviction.
The CPS are a-holes. And it's the police that get it in the neck if it doesn't go to court, a case is dropped, etc...they get shit on from both sides.

Well, it is always going to be an unpl easant and delicate affair on all sides.
