[QUOTE=fingpilot;4577108]Hmmm.... I'm sorry, I might be inclined to see the other side of this one. Has anyone seen the ENTIRE video? He ran 2 red lights, failed to stop for well over 5 minutes of lights and siren, all after dark, in a Yukon with VERY dark tint, and some bling on the 20 inch tires?

Not sure what video you watched.

Was not 5 minutes was 40 seconds.

The distance from the red light to the parking spot is less than a mile.

The cop did not catch up to him until he was turning into the parking lot.

Moats was coming from Frisco which is N of the hospital. Fastest and only logical route for him was via the G. Bush Turnpike, also coincides with the video. Runs l-r in bottom of image. So he either ran the light at the end of the ramp or the light on the other side of the bridge, two green circles lower left. Powell would have been the red dot, he clearly crosses the bridge at the beginning of the tape.

The parking spot is the green square far right.

The scale on the map puts the distance from the 1st possible light to the entrance of the parking lot at ~2,500 ft. Last I checked that's less than a mile. First leg is 1,000 and the next is 1,200.

Based on the video and how long it took Powell to catch up I think Moats ran the light on the other end of the bridge or Powell would have been on top of him in a heartbeat. Also living down here most highway exits I encounter will go green and the light on the other side of the bridge is red because the opposite service road has also gone green.

The number 2 positions show where powell was when moats made the right turn onto Alliance. They are about 5-600 ft apart at that point.



Shot below shows where Powell was when Moats turned into the lot. About 100-150 ft apart. The patchwork/manhole cover on the road are clearly visible in the video.


And since when is it a crime to run around on 20 in rims? Should I tell my 5 ft tall white Jewish wife from Dix Hills Long Island that she is a target for police down here because of the rims on her Tahoe or were you implying something else? Don't bother to answer, you already have in your couple of posts on this thread.
