Electric bike (not an ebike) vs TPS chase. TPS lost bad.
I witnessed a police chase the other day and here's the video. 👀

Smart thinking. He used the restricted TTC vehicles only lanes because he knew even the cops aren't allowed on there anymore.
Exactly. I think the thing in the video is perhaps a Stark Varg... those things are insane.
Doesn't need to be anything that expensive. My Talaria MX-5 would comfortably do 90+ km/hr, and when my body was broken from the car accident last summer and just breathing hurt, I sold it because I knew I wouldnt' be riding much let alone off-roading... all I got for that thing was $5k from a buddy.
Used E-stuff is cheap. Really good used E-stuff isn't too bad either.
That exists now for drones. Cops aim a directional antenna at it and I think that makes it lose connection to the transmitter. It then lowers itself slowly for cops to grab. I think birdshot would be faster, orders of magnitude cheaper and not much more dangerous but cops like toys and budgets like spending.
Is this real life or urban legend?
Asking because every drone I ever owned, once it loses connection, it doesn't lower itself slowly lol. Any drone I've had for the last 3 years registers a "home point" (the launch point) when they first take off. When it loses connection to the controller, it waits a programmed amount of time (I think I remember that you can set that in your settings), and then if no connection is resumed, it just returns back to the home point. Likewise if the battery is too low, and it can't reconnect to your control after waiting there, it will just return back to the launch point.
They do this because, you know... people fly over water, and plenty of other stuff and things far from where they launch. The idea is you always launch from a safe open area, so if you ever lose connection to your drone, it has LOTS of space to return home.
Typically if I'm flying across a lake at the in-law's cottage (I could get about 3 KM range over open water) I would launch the drone from the other side of the house while I sit on the dock, that way if anything goes wrong, the drone returns to the other side of the cottage, and doesn't accidentally miss the end of the dock where i'm sitting and end up submarining lol
