“It's not a G63, they probably realized that as they were driving. Hence they ditched it. My concern is there's no arrests & this guys are probably gonna come back for the right spec. Cops and criminals working together, that means no more stopping for cops on the roads.”

“It was real police. They wanted a joy ride.”
