This chase lets you know how "slow" Trooper Charger R/T cruisers really are , due to having so much structural reinforcement and extra gear.

He can drive . He can't catch the blacked out charger and his cruiser isn't fast enough to catch a hellcat if that driver has any skills but he can Definitely drive

Trooper Byrd displayed great driving skills as he wove his way through the traffic barrels. That GPS dart is a cool accessory for the police. When the perp saw the gun, he dropped that phone FAST! This is one great video.
Very impressed with how calm and collected the pursuing officer was as well as the excellent coordination with other officers. I am not usually positive about police interactions but this is exactly the kind of professionalism I'd like to see everywhere.
I can vouch they are professional like this, But I escaped from them, since they had my plate they peacefully arrested me like an hour later after I fleed. I have court next month, it’s my first charge I’m dumb for it, I don’t know if I’ll do jail time or have probation/house arrest.
I've been considering moving to Arkansas and just recently found this channel. Now I'm sure I'm moving there because I need to meet and shake the hand of officer Byrd!! *the pit master. 🇺🇸💪🏻
To be sure with road works and many turn offs the cop did the right thing. If the guy had stopped signaling and turned off lights, he may have got away, for how long that's another question. Are the darts reusable and maybe just another charge.

@@Maxumized He thinks he's important.
Before it's all over with, Trooper Byrd will end up in court as a defendant ..... After all, he stomped all over this poor, defenseless felon's rights.
@@Maxumized Always surprises me how all these grown a$$ men (BLAX) starts acting like little kids when they get arrested… all of them wants mommy huhhhhhh pathetic 🤮🤮🤮💩💩💩Ohhhh mommy the POWlice is racially profiling me because I’m black lol 🤡
When they hear on the radio that Byrd is chasing someone, EVERYBODY shows up lol
While running from the police, it is imperative that you obey all traffic laws and politely use your indicator lights when changing lanes or turning. This way you will not risk getting a ticket.
If you’re in a high-speed chase, always signal because that’s that much less they’ll be able to charge you for.
_The More You Know_ 💫
My dad told me when I first started driving, many years ago, you might think you can out run the police car, but you can’t out run Motorola! Once again, good job Officer Byrd! Thank you and keep up the great work!
Ur dad lied
"You might outrun the motor, but not the motorola."
Also can't outrun the GPS
your dad must not know wheres981 briq50 and the entire swim fleet
You can always outsmart the two clowns holding them tho
Trooper Bryd, Nascar needs you!!! You are an awesome driver. You have great style.
Great Trooper!!!!
This chase lets you know how "slow" Trooper Charger R/T cruisers really are , due to having so much structural reinforcement and extra gear. This perp was driving a base audi A7 3.0T(the slowest of the 7 series) and he was pulling on Trooper Byrd every time when on full throttle. Props to Byrd, he does have exceptional driving skills.
Byrd also has to demonstrate concern for public safety while in pursuit.
It’s German so the 335hp of that Audi and the 370 of the charger are probably the same WHP
Same suspects, this one was awesome!
I’m a super fan of Trooper Byrd. Hands up from St. Louis!
Byrd does not disappoint
I would like to do a high speed ride a long with him!
@D S what in tarnation
Holy molly that power of that Charger to keep up with that Audi, it really had no chance with Byrd🦅 behind that wheel 😂
Trooper Byrd is a national treasure! And who the hell signals his every move to the tailing cop? Then he is on the phone when they pit him. EPIC.
Very nice maneuver there evading (mostly) the concrete island by the trooper at 7:50 . Could've potentially messed up the axle.
He definitely knicked it
Already done in that construction zone after he passed that dump truck, noticed how the car jerked back over to the left?
Not sure how solid those explorers are but I’m guessing his alignment was messed up a little at most. This guy seems like a pretty damn good driver.
@@huskylols5406 Those are Dodge Hemi Chargers the cops run, not Explorers. The chargers are faster & handle better. The V8 Hemi ones will do 150, the V6s only do 130. Some used to be AWD with the 5.7 Hemi, but they discontinued the 5.7 AWD. It was only available in V6
Good lord. The legendary Trooper Byrd does it again. His driving ability is absolutely insane. Props Trooper!
He should go pro and make some real money....
He can drive . He can't catch the blacked out charger and his cruiser isn't fast enough to catch a hellcat if that driver has any skills but he can Definitely drive

Trooper Byrd is not just a great law enforcer excellent driver but a fine specimen of a man.
As well as the Byrdman drives at high speeds, and deploys various tools, are we SURE that he was NOT a Moonshiner outrunning the Revenuers in a past life? Maybe he's channeling one....he puts those skills to good use. The man is unshakable!! 😅😅❤❤❤❤❤😅😅
When Trooper Byrd is on duty, the bad guy and his vehicle don't stand a chance. Jacob, you are awesome!
don't stand a chance? You sure about that?

Trooper Byrd displayed great driving skills as he wove his way through the traffic barrels. That GPS dart is a cool accessory for the police. When the perp saw the gun, he dropped that phone FAST! This is one great video.
When there's a chase anywhere in Arkansas they send up the Byrd signal. Dude's a rock star of a driver, holy.
Dude left his signal on...which helped clue the officer of where he was at all times, even in the far distance. Glad he did.
Very impressed with how calm and collected the pursuing officer was as well as the excellent coordination with other officers. I am not usually positive about police interactions but this is exactly the kind of professionalism I'd like to see everywhere.
The dude is a fucking danger to the general public and should be fired.
I can vouch they are professional like this, But I escaped from them, since they had my plate they peacefully arrested me like an hour later after I fleed. I have court next month, it’s my first charge I’m dumb for it, I don’t know if I’ll do jail time or have probation/house arrest.
@@vtrekk you deserve jail for endangering others
No sympathy
@Vtrek dont listen to the literal karen dude you’re probably young shit happens just go to court and keep it 100 with em youll be ight💪🏼
@@user-jt6io5qk1b I'm not sure anyone should take advice from someone who says ight. Smh
'is Byrd batman' I'm thinking the same thing
Not sure, but legend has it, you will never see trooper Byrd and Batman in the same room ;-)
Bravo bravo 👏🏼 for that trooper, definitely deserves a raise👏🏼
I've been considering moving to Arkansas and just recently found this channel.
Now I'm sure I'm moving there because I need to meet and shake the hand of officer Byrd!!
*the pit master. 🇺🇸💪🏻
Apparently those GPS tags are the newest version of a notch in the gun belt... Excellent apprehension, Trooper!
I’m impressed! Usually Audi owners can never get that dang signal to work
The five 0's on an Audi is always a sure tell, four on the hood and one behind the wheel.
His problem was he couldn’t figure out how to turn it off again
Love these videos! Troopers are awesome. Love your new device. Great idea. Wish i had thought of it.
3:09 GPs dart ( perfect shot)
6:17 Audi driver shows he got game too
7:49 Byrd shows his mad driving skills and lightning reflexes 😮
Reserve the fastest car for Byrd. The Byrd is legendary.
Waste of a dart. That he would get away from Byrd was never in question.
To be sure with road works and many turn offs the cop did the right thing. If the guy had stopped signaling and turned off lights, he may have got away, for how long that's another question.
Are the darts reusable and maybe just another charge.
He should put little bluebird wings on the dart.
@@TheByard I just imagine the driver has a passenger, someone realizes he's been darted, and the passenger climbs to the back seat, puts them down, gets to the trunk, opens it, and tries to remove the dart mid pursuit, lo l.
At first, I thought he was gonna dart him and back off because he liked the car or something and didn't want to damage it, lol.
I thought the same, Trooper Byrd doesn’t fail - but probably did it as a precaution in case he needed to terminate the pursuit for public safety.
Their lack of road rage in pursuits always impresses me lol
