Oh, Yes he Did: Miami Cop Drives Police Cruiser up a Pole [Video]


The only recent comparable accident that comes to mind upon seeing this Miami police cruiser in what can only be described as an embarrassing position, is the New Hampshire incident back in February when a Ford Fusion landed and stayed on its face in a snow bank.

We're told by ABC News that police officer J. Brutus was driving near the intersection of NW 6th Avenue and 67th street in Miami when he allegedly looked down to grab a pen that had fallen but when he looked up, he found himself…staring at the sky!

Naked Hummer Limo Thief Attempts to Run Away from the Police but is Caught by Dog [Video]


And just when you thought you've seen and heard it all, you run across another crazy story. According to ITN News, this latest bizarre incident took place in southern California on Saturday night when a naked man reportedly stole a Hummer stretch limousine at gunpoint.

After the vehicle's chauffeur notified the police, officers on the ground with the help of a police helicopter from above were somehow able to quickly spot the stolen Hummer (as it turns out, a stretch Hummer isn't as inconspicuous as the thief may have thought…) and began pursuit.

Call of Duty: Turkish Police Officer Hangs on Hood of Drunk Driver’s Car


There are police officers and there are police officers. And if anything else, this officer of the law from Turkey that you’re about to see in the surveillance camera footage below shows that some people take their job far more seriously than others.

It all started when the man in blue attempted to stop a silver car but the driver ignored him and tried to take off but not before the cop threw himself onto the bonnet. The determined cop clasped onto the windscreen wipers for a 3 kilometer-long (about 2 miles) wild ride until the driver, who turned out to be intoxicated, hit another car and came to a stop. Fortunately, the officer suffered only minor injuries. Watch the footage after the jump.

GM Shows 2012 Chevy Impala Police Car with 302HP V6, Says its 28% More Fuel Efficient than Ford Crown Vic


In a rather odd move, General Motors has gone ahead and revealed the police patrol version of the 2012 model year Chevrolet Impala before we get to know the full details on the retail model. The Detroit automaker stated that the 2012 Impala for the public will go on sale this month and will get the additional horsepower and fuel economy of the police derivative.

The highlight of the 2012 Impala redesign in both police and retail forms is the adoption of the GM’s new 3.6-liter V6 engine with direct-injection technology coupled to a six-speed automatic transmission. The six-cylinder unit delivers 302-horsepower and according to GM’s engineering tests, it offers the 2012 Impala a very respectable 0-60mph (96 km/h) sprint time of 6.6 seconds.

Real Life Grand Theft Auto with Man Stealing Police Car and Crashing it into a Truck


Today's video find contains three things: a police vehicle, a dangerous individual and a high-speed run that could answer the question what would Grand Theft Auto look in real life. It all started on Friday, March 13 when 38-year-old Arthur Lee Thompson allegedly attempted to steal a computer from a Walmart store in Summerville, South Carolina. According to the report, when faced by the store manager, he purportedly punched him in the mouth and took off in a green Jeep Grand Cherokee.

The police were called in to investigate and it didn’t take long for an officer to locate Thompson and pull him over. From there on, the entire incident was caught on film by the police cruiser’s inboard camera.
