  3. It's easy to point out the things that "went wrong" in this video but really pretty common in the "fog of war" and ultimately having a decent plan (which accounted for failures) resulted in a very successful resolution. :) In the real-world, things like adrenaline, flight/fight/freeze and tunnel vision combine to make plans and communication more difficult. But this is the internet, so you are welcome to point out how dumb I am :)

  4. 0:00 - The Incident 19:34 - The Signs of a Killer A special thank you to our small team behind the scenes that has tracked this case since spring 2022. A lot of work went into this tragic case that received surprisingly little local coverage.

  5. - We've been tracking this case for the last 1 year and 10 months. A verdict was released yesterday: @23:57 - A special thanks to our team behind the scenes who spent untold hours tracking this case. This was a huge project involving hundreds of hours of work, numerous open records requests and in-depth work involving a hundreds of court documents. - Link to Justice4Denari on FB: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/14nmDopevuiEvKTM/?mibextid=K35XfP

  7. At @6:43 and then again at @6:52, anyone know what (spring loaded?) tool that is? Looks like a small gun with an orange spring. Also, if you playback the rollover, it shows the deputy's speed at 94mph - truly incredible he walked away from that... Did not look survivable...

  10. @12:52 A researcher made a list of every form of "F-word" used by police. Definitely the most interesting table in all of academia! Buddy F'er - An officer who intentionally makes another officer’s job more difficult, usually out of malice or self-interest. Cluster F - A chaotic, disorganized, or complicated situation that is difficult to manage or navigate. Flying F - An expression of extreme indifference or disregard for a situation or person. Fubar - An acronym for “F'ed Up Beyond All Recognition,” describing a situation that is severely damaged or beyond repair. F-all - A slang term for “nothing” or “very little,” used to express a lack of importance or value. F-around-itis - A lack of focus, discipline, or commitment in one's work, leading to inefficiency or poor performance. F'enomics - A sarcastic term used to describe a flawed or poorly thought- out economic policy or financial decision, particularly used in response to pay and/or benefits. F'eration - A term for the collective group of people who exhibit undesirable or negative qualities. Full list & research: https://www.crimrxiv.com/pub/lhz02rru/release/1

  11. The boyfriend: - Relies on GF for financial support - Has dogs that aren’t house trained - Doesn’t clean up after his dogs - Can’t understand why people don’t want him to drink AND engages in tactics similar to this @24:24

  12. @14:35 The highest calling in law enforcement is caring for the safety of everyone, regardless of their past. Even though they know he's a murder suspect, these officers beg for a safe resolution.

  13. Super proud of the team for tracking this one for soooooo long through the court system so we could see how the wealthy are treated. Also... Really should've gotten a dashcam sponsor for this one :)

  15. @5:14 Once an FTO, always an FTO :) Congrats to the rookie on being on his own and having to deal with his FTO's backseat driving one last time. Genuine warm wishes to both :) All in all, just an incredibly positive video from the troopers involved to those who stopped to help, to the unnamed wife who provided cover - and the good communication throughout. It's rare you get a to see a video where just so much is done so well under so much pressure.

  19. USA: 1 China: 0 All joking aside, don't do what this guy did. He's not a bad dude but you still gotta think before your shoot and know your backstop. :) But also, I don’t plan on competing against this guy at the range, lol. 75+ feet!

  25. This case was investigated by the Ocala Police Department, US Federal Agents and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. It was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Sarah Janette Swartzberg. According to court documents, on November 13, 2023, officers from the Ocala Police Department (OPD) responded to a shooting at a convenience store. An officer observed Goodman running in the area and wearing a black ski mask. When ordered to stop, Goodman refused. Goodman eventually fell and was detained by the officers. A Glock firearm with an extended magazine was recovered from the sidewalk where Goodman had fallen. When interviewed, Goodman stated that he believed someone had been shooting at him, so he had returned fire with his handgun. Goodman, who has two prior state felony convictions for possession of cannabis with intent to sell/deliver and carrying a concealed firearm, is prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition under federal law. This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone.

  28. Police or Suspect? Vote here on who was most at fault: https://www.youtube.com/@MidwestSafety/community My dumb take is this is probably an overworked cop (overworked--> burnout--> resentment) who got burned on a previous call and now having a little less patience on the current call. (Speculative, of course, so apologies in advance.)

  58. Hello Mr. Smith, I am very sorry for your loss and what the family must be going through. Please let me know if you or the family would like any additional information added to the description of this video. No one deserves to have this happen to them. Thinking of you and the family, MN Safety
    81
  59. Yeah, I thought so too!
    80
  60. We have an open records request for that info. It’s gone unanswered so far…

  61.  @KevBotM  yeah, I’m pretty partial to this. Drunk guy having a bad moment. Probably doesn’t need a lengthy sentence as long as taking responsibility for actions.

  89. And, for what it’s worth, I thought the chase was executed quite well! The measures of a successful chase should be (1) safe results (2) apprehension (and these generally only occur with good spike stick deployment.) If portions of the chase are a little silly, that’s totally fine as long as 1 and 2 are good. Manpower is comparatively cheap (rapist getting away is very “expensive” for society) and having a safe ending is very cost effective - wrongful death lawsuits are very expensive for taxpayers.

  92. That's one tough mom! @10:10 Mom showed she's a total class act! @6:23 Mom made it clear her child was rear facing. Had he not been rear facing, he could have sustained a serious neck injury given the forces involved in this crash. "The statements of witnesses, the lack of apparent braking prior to impact, the driver's level of impairment and his status upon arrival of officers are all suggestive the driver fell asleep or lost consciousness prior to impact."

  117. Yeah, honestly, I love seeing officers have compassion on criminals - I think it really shows the heart that’s behind the badge.
    19
  118.  @gsdalpha1358  Hey, thanks for the update! Ive really come to believe that we’d all benefit from better public messaging about what to do after a severe crash. I hear from so many people that they couldn’t feel any pain because the amount of adrenaline was crazy - and didn’t know how badly injured they were. You’re always welcome to drop by the channel - stay in touch, okay?

  130. Seemed like a pretty slow speed PIT... Most/all tires gone and very likely under 45mph at that point
    17
  131. Our understanding is that there were complex and dynamic weather and traffic factors at play. Large hail, limited visibility and heavy traffic may have limited other routes. Ultimately, we are glad this family made it to safety - others did not.

  149.  @jamesburton1050  Here’s my understanding: Why pursue if you can just pick up the person later at their house? I think the latter poses less risk to the public. (And that’s what they ultimately did … tracked and waited to engage in a more rural location, I think…)
    13
  150. Lincoln, Nebraska has a population of 291,000 people. In 2017, it had zero murders. We all should move to Lincoln. (Cornhuskers would also be a bit nicer to Rico.)

  171. These videos are worth what you pay for them. 😉

  176. I don’t think there’s a cut through on I-394 in that area
    10
  177. The trooper positively identified the suspect...
    10
  178. @8:23 Doing all the drugs at the same time is a bad idea. (Full details at the end of the video.)
    10
  179.  @Jim-nq9el  Yeah, I think you assumption is correct. While it feels good to see it happen, the instances I’ve seen are almost always when the officer is wrapping up their stop and available to go after the offender. The 3 videos we had for ACSO were all convictions in last 12 mos, I think, related to one agency.
    10
  180. Wow!!! Thank you for sharing! Glad you are still with us!

  196. Had the same thought - GSR test would be very helpful in this situation. I'm almost certain it would be done but can't positively confirm.
    9
  197. Yeah, I would imagine that was probably before Hutch’s rollover DUI at 126 mph. I don’t think any publicly elected official wants to be associated with him after that
    9
  198. https://pnl.link/e9GYALV 👆make $$ playing games👆
    9
  199.  @FRED-sr4me  probably depends on the year… I would say it’s more of a swing state.
    9
  200. Yeah, I think it was concern about crossfire risk
    8
  201. How did you know there was a crash up there? Could you see it or did you just get a sense? Definitely a nice job being in the right place! The driver that got hit was understandably pretty upset?
    8
  202. Yeah, one can only hope something good comes from this 🙏
    8
  203. Agree!
    8
  204. They miss out on a lot of great videos!
    8
  205. 💯
    8
  206. 💯
    8
  207. Yep! We learned only minot injuries!
    8
  208. 😊
    8
  209. Not sure if it helps, but you can only get video like this after the case has been adjudicated, in Minnesota. This is exclusive video and no other outlet has this video - until today, it was undisclosed. I hope that context helps.
    8
  210. Thank you for sharing this!!
    8
  211.  @jenniehughes6927  this made us laugh!
    8
  212. Glad you enjoyed it
    8
  213.  @dallas49m  If you really believe that, give them a call. Won’t someone please think of the children!
    8
  214. :)
    8
  215. That's the secret sauce! (Hint: It's also expensive.)
    8
  216. The camera was being moved by the Regional Transportation Management Center, which is co-located with metro State Patrol dispatch and MNDOT. This is definitely an emergency response situation, but they still have to drive there - and could be several miles away.
    8
  217.  @wgraham2410  Yep! Agree with both responses! We all should be more careful (but this seems to be an egregious example.)
    8
  218. So true!
    8
  219.  @merryhineline7781  a great question! We were not able to find any information on that, unfortunately. Appreciate you asking!!
    8
  220. Very true
    8
  221. Excellent comment!
    8
  222. Wow! Hey, thank you for sharing that.
    8
  223. I don't think he's very good boyfriend material...
    8
  224.  @syntheticfuture1718  agree. 😭
    8
  225. Pinned! Thank you!
    8
  226. Same question here!
    8
  227. Wow, that sounds like quite the story!!
    8
  228. As a matter of policy, we post videos of bad drivers of any political party, race or creed. 😊
    7
  229. Completely agree! But this is the city of Ramsey, in Anoka county. 😉
    7
  230. Oh, good question! The individual entered a guilty plea under 609.487.3 - fleeing and eluding and was sentenced.
    7
  231.  @TomokoMurakami  Tell me about it!
    7
  232. We thought the dispatcher was great!
    7
  233. FWIW, I think the internet at large generally over-estimates the number of officers that are PIT certified. It's not clear to me that he was...
    7
  234.  @prunabluepepper  thank you!
    7
  235. Pinned to the top as the first visible comment! Thank you fir sharing this!!!
    7
  236. This is the original video. Some portions were edited to protect the identity of the minor.
    7
  237. Oh, I gotcha... Yeah, the title should clarify that it's the officer who was at risk, not the squad, right? I gotcha now...
    7
  238. There's no side facing camera (only front and rear camera) on the squad to show how close it was, but they passed by on the inside lane as the officer was getting into their squad. Which is not cool, if you ask me.
    7
  239. Yeah, at the time I thought maybe they were a population of 10,000 but obviously they're more than double that! Thank you!
    7
  240. Thanks @RonathonYeeYee! Appreciate it!
    7
  241. This made me laugh!
    7
  242. We did cut out some of the moments that seemed the most boring, out of respect for your time :)
    7
  243. Now I gotta go fire myself :(
    7
  244. Hey, good feedback! We’ll definitely extend the time for the photos next time. Apologies!
    7
  245. Yeah, we'd love to. Unfortunately these are huge files which come in a proprietary format which sometimes exceed some of our technical capabilities at the moment.
    7
  246. Definitely...
    7
  247. It's good to see!
    7
  248. Jay, thanks for sharing! That’s a wild experience and glad you are with us and thank you for your service.
    7
  249. I really like this idea! I think it would be eye-opening to see the risks that construction workers face!
    7
  250.  @Smurphenstein  wow! Thank you for sharing!
    7
  251. Definitely! It took me a bit to realize he never crossed or broke the cables!
    7
  252. Hey, you called it on this video, right?!
    7
  253. There are no traffic cameras in bedrooms.
    7
  254.  @lindanwfirefighter4973  Thanks! Completely correct! And this is something we do as a hobby - if we were good at editing, we wouldn’t be doing it for free on YouTube. 😉
    6
  255. Yeah, definitely 💯 That was MN 100 Humbolt camera I think …
    6
  256. For what it’s worth, I thought the chase was executed quite well! The measures of a successful chase should be (1) safe results (2) apprehension (and these generally only occur with good spike stick deployment.) If portions of the chase are a little silly, that’s totally fine as long as 1 and 2 are good. Manpower is comparatively cheap (rapist getting away is very “expensive” for society) and having a safe ending is very cost effective - wrongful death lawsuits are very expensive for taxpayers.
    6
  257. Good feedback! Unfortunately , it’s only a 2 minute video, so we can’t go in depth as we’d like. But we definitely noted to get your car off the road and showed the video of individuals who were far off the roadway (and ended up safe!)
    6
  258. It definitely has a lot of videos of crashes, unfortunately
    6
  259. -Worf
    6
  260. ❤️
    6
  261. We cut out portions of the transcript that had personally identifiable info, or in which the caller just re-verified some information - and portions of the call were just the dispatcher typing - we also cut that out too :)
    6
  262. Definitely! :)
    6
  263. 😉
    6
  264. Hey Bill, thanks for your thoughtful comment!
    6
  265. Glad you enjoyed it!
    6
  266. Oh, great find! Unfortunately, not captured on either camera - only the aftermath... Thank you for this tip! https://twitter.com/SafetyAlertsMN/status/1427738643423182851?s=20
    6
  267. Yeah, that’s what I’ve noticed as well - highly dependent on the agency and in this case, I don’t think he wanted to stop the car until they got off on a side street. That’s my guess
    6
  268.  @paultaylor256  I’m curious what the record is for longest time make/model not getting an updated look. Those Grand Marquis and Crown Vics seemed to go maybe 15 years without much of a major design change!
    6
  269. Good point! There's always a delay between the time a 911 call is picked up and the incident is created in CAD and dispatched
    6
  270. Same here!
    6
  271. For what it’s worth, governor has called for him to resign
    6
  272. Hey Dave, same here. I had hopes he was going to do some good stuff. Hennepin county needs good, smart leaders. Warm regards, MN Safety
    6
  273. I appreciate that!
    6
  274.  @Smurphenstein  Definitely! And I’m glad you got the photos. When we face what we survived, we are stronger for it.
    6
  275. Well, that all requires a lot of time which we are desperately short of, unfortunately.
    6
  276. In other states, I tend to see emergency vehicles going down the left or right shoulder. MN is the first state I’ve seen this and I’d be curious how other states do it
    6
  277. 100% agree on both points!
    6
  278.  @FRED-sr4me  Milwaukee, Wisconsin
    6
  279.  @douglas2lee929  💯
    6
  280. Oh, we are definitely the only place that is reporting on some of this stuff. We work pretty hard on exclusive content that you can't get elsewhere. The individual was transported for further evaluation. That's all we know right now.
    6
  281. Always :)
    6
  282. Great insight as always, Bob!
    6
  283.  @james3282  Yes! And it’s confusing, because it’s all part of the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area and they share the same name!
    5
  284. Great point!
    5
  285. This is Cook County, IL. Unfortunately criminal court records are not online. But... 2 months seems like a pretty good guess...
    5
  286. Definitely!
    5
  287. Yeah... definitely a good idea!
    5
  288. I was very surprised to see they did not seem to use their brakes...
    5
  289. Hahaha
    5
  290. Hi, sorry, this was a wrong way driver in the south metro on 4/16/2021. They were arrested and detained at the end of the video but obscured by trees.
    5
  291. :)
    5
  292. :)
    5
  293.  @bethlouden971  thank you for sharing!
    5
  294. Right, agree completely but I think we said they did not inflate on the first crash. (Which would be good)
    5
  295. Pinned!
    5
  296. That’s why police have lights and sirens and traffic pre-emotion devices…
    5
  297. Thank you for your post!! Great detail and insight - definitely appreciated! In Minnesota, this would move to a digital, statewide LAW TAC channel. Is that not the case in Wisconsin? Email: mn.safety.alerts@gmail.com
    5
  298.  @Micha-fk4gn  I think this is a good question - and we’ve seen different agencies with different strategies.
    5
  299. It’s there to protect the privacy of the driver. I am sorry you don’t like it.
    5
  300.  @Triple88a  No.
    5
  301.  @giannipuface9441  agree!
    5
  302. We will!
    5
  303.  @matthewwithum8372  Yeah, I guess what I was trying to suggest was there’s a certain hubris or sense of invincibility that comes from a driver who isn’t paying attention. When you understand that seconds do matter - it’s a humbling thought. Humans are fragile. That’s all :)
    5
  304. Yeah, it is a slick top, so lights are mounted internally which doesn’t help. But camera is at a higher angle and it’s a DOT camera, so I suspect the lights also look brighter in person.
    5
  305. We thought so too but it turns out he also ruined his own car...
    5
  306. Steve, we are working on some video analysis of it. Definitely a sad situation
    5
  307. NYC is extremely safe... but a little less safe in recent years. Also has a pretty significant organized retail crime component which seems to be gaining steam. But yeah, honestly, a very safe place to live (expensive though!)
    5
  308. "Midwest nice" doesn't apply to Chicago.
    5
  309. "Slow your roll or pay the toll" - that's a good one!
    5
  310. Yeah, in general I think (most) restrictive chase policies tend to make sense. However, in this case, I think officers were faced with some pretty difficult choices ... violent offenders, on the loose who had very recently shot someone. tl;dr: it's complicated...
    5
  311. Thanks! A lot of work went into this one...
    5
  312.  @Towtrucker9876  Oh yeah, absolutely! It’s terrible. Honestly, we need to start a hashtag like “AmberLightsMatter” or something. And if you’ve got any close calls, please submit them - I’d like to take a look. Stay safe out there…
    5
  313.  @cdm0101  this channel is open to both those who like classic rock and those who don’t. All are welcome! (Please no Nickelback though.) 😉
    5
  314. Beth, thank you for your encouragement! Yes, about 1,000 cameras in MN and our channel tracks about 500 of the most used in the metro and Duluth+Rochester. They’re controlled by MNDOT and State Patrol, which is pretty cool 😃 Great questions!
    5
  315. Hi Elizabeth! Wow, thank you for your post! How are you all doing??
    5
  316. Thank you for sharing this story! Pinned to the top for others to see!
    5
  317.  @GlobalTossPot  I’m hoping the push-bumpers took the brunt of it!
    5
  318. Excellent work!
    5
  319. We prefer to be called "Admiral Obvious" :)
    5
  320. Great reference, definitely laughed out loud
    5
  321. That trooper was taking care of business!
    5
  322. "Okay, but other than the video of me committing the crime, they've got nothin' on me"
    5
  323. Yeah, totally agree! And then pulled forward to help clear a path...
    5
  324. Thank you for confirmation!
    5
  325. Thank you! Agree 💯
    5
  326. Aug 6, 2021 1:15pm. We’ve updated the description with this info based on your feedback
    5
  327. Well you’ve seen Fargo, right? 😉

  328. For what it’s worth, I thought the chase was executed quite well!

    4
  329. Crossfire risk if you do that, I’m guessing
    4
  330. Yes!
    4
  331. Glad you enjoyed it
    4
  332. Hi! No injuries!
    4
  333. Someone else posted too (in another Lowry video)
    4
  334.  @mikerotonda6264  no
    4
  335. Completely agree!
    4
  336. The only idea I came up with was a k-9? I truly do not know!
    4
  337. Yeah, we have to wait post-conviction in order to obtain the videos. Once we get the videos, we try to post right away. :)
    4
  338. Oh man, for sure!
    4
  339. I don’t think they hooked up to a hydrant.
    4
  340. Yes! I definitely wanted to include this for discussion. I don’t think they could move right because of the sedan blocking the middle lane. But what do you think?
    4
  341. I would vote for this :)
    4
  342. It's because I'm not a very good editor and have a real job to hold down, unfortunately. :( But I completely agree, the first clip should have shown more pre-crash!
    4
  343. Yes! She did run down there! If it’s not in this video, is in the part 2 video - link in the description.
    4
  344. @Bill Yeah, it's tough. Kinda went back and forth on whether to publish the portion showing the crash. Might just edit it out to show the push bumper action - and the ambulance hitting the cones! :)
    4
  345. Almost immediately fully engulfed… crash was off camera
    4
  346. Glad you enjoyed it!
    4
  347. haha, definitely :)
    4
  348. Had the same reaction! But maybe she has her ID in there, in which case that’s kinda smart 😉
    4
  349.  @234jamaica  oh wow! I bet you’re right!
    4
  350. Please don’t tell the robots. :)
    4
  351. We can confirm he was not injured.
    4
  352. Thank you so much! It means a lot to hear that!
    4
  353. I think responding code 3 to debris on freeways is pretty common due to the risk of a collision with the debris or a crash in people trying to avoid it
    4
  354. Hey, completely agree and you're 100% correct. Just wanted to let you know - based on the feedback of you and others, this has been addressed. Permanently.
    4
  355. :)
    4
  356.  @KS-ph5ci  💯
    4
  357. :)
    4
  358. Content involving personally identifiable information was removed from the video (for privacy purposes)
    4
  359. hahaha, thank you :)
    4
  360. Suspect was detained and transported via ambulance. I will add that to the description!
    4
  361. 😉
    4
  362. Wait until the first snowfall...
    4
  363. I think this may have had a person outside their car struck… We watched some video of the post-crash scene and it was not suitable for publishing. Injuries appeared severe. 😞 🙏
    4
  364. Good point!
    4
  365. 👀 😳
    4
  366. Hey Nate Sand! Good insight and thanks for your comment! 100%
    4
  367. They do great work! Definitely follow them on YouTube and Twitter but no formal association
    4
  368. Pinned! Hey, nice livestream tonight by the way. Good work
    4
  369. “Siri, remind me next July…”
    4
  370. Yeah, I think so too and Minnesotans are generally pretty good about it :)
    4
  371. 😃
    4
  372. Less than ideal indeed.
    4
  373. Be careful out there, my friend!
    4
  374.  @indiasupportstrumpwwg1wga927  Oh thank you very much!!! 😊
    4
  375. Beastie Boys!!!
    4
  376. You guessed it.
    4
  377. can confirm :)
    4
  378. Yes! And they can be dynamically updated. Great question and if I get the chance, I will ask them about it!
    4
  379. David, great insight - and I liked the analogy!
    4
  380. Charles, great background on this! Thank you! Unfortunately, a lot of states (or several?) still are struggling to transition (fully) to 800 MHz
    4
  381. No, driving has gotten MUCH, MUCH safer and crashes are much less common. It’s just we now have video of all the crashes
    4
  382.  @elizabethforrest9999  Reach out anytime! Email: mn.safety.alerts@gmail.com Do you have advice for other crash survivors from a big crash like this? If comfortable sharing a little about your post crash experience and recovery, we’d love to hear it - super important to hear and share from crash survivors. All the best, Alex / Volunteer / MN Safety
    4
  383. I went frame by frame looking for a Durango, but only Tahoes and State Patrol!
    4
  384. Hey, thanks for sharing this! :)
    4
  385. Glad you enjoyed it
    4
  386. Oh, I know!
    4
  387. Same!!
    4
  388. thank you for sharing! :)
    4
  389. An excellent and thoughtful comment - thank you! 💯 agree!
    4
  390. Definitely!
    4
  391. Yeah, I think this is a pretty insightful response. Thanks for posting!
    4
  392.  @renegade_patriot  Hey Marcus, thank you for your response!
    4
  393. It took me a bit, but after watching three tow crews recover the vehicle, I can say it was the cable barriers which forced him to bounce back. They never broke and he never got past them.
    4
  394. In this case, I think there were already one of more 911 calls, so they were starting to track him on camera and get troopers dispatched. Good question!
    4
  395. That's how I feel!
    4
  396. Glad you enjoyed
    4
  397.  @MNDashcam  thanks! I will check it out!
    4
  398. Much appreciated!
    4
  399. Thank you! Pinned your comment to the top!
    4
  400.  @now_minnesota  Hey, feel free to email anytime and chat on some of this, okay? It’s definitely been an experience and I’m sure you can relate… :)
    4
  401. Much appreciated!
    4
  402. Thank you! Cheers!
    4
  403. Hey, thanks! We work really hard to get them!
    4
  404. I think they left an opening in the box due to crossfire risk…
    3
  405. Blaine PD, I think!
    3
  406. There is no link to the original video because the original video is not online. At the end of the video, you can plainly see first responders urgently moving to the individual, but we generally don't post videos regarding medial response or treatments for privacy purposes.
    3
  407. Awesome, thank you!
    3
  408.  @rewtheday  fuel leak. But the fact that everyone was okay is probably the best part! 😊
    3
  409.  @cloudsfluff5505  Well, the big difference is now we always have video that can be posted quickly
    3
  410. Thanks for watching!
    3
  411. I thought the roof did surprisingly well under the circumstances and that a fair amount of force was dropped on the Prius. But that’s just a guess - the glass broke but it seems to me the roof structure for the passengers did NOT collapse.
    3
  412. Do you think this might be a K-9 officer? I couldn't figure out what the noise was unless it was a dog?
    3
  413. Agree!
    3
  414. Definitely!
    3
  415. Yeah, it’s like, how much is good response times and public safety worth, right? 😊 Definitely appreciate the update!
    3
  416. Related, I heard Edina PD now has a fully marked Tesla!
    3
  417. Niiice
    3
  418. 😊
    3
  419.  @JohnHallgren  So frustrating!!!
    3
  420.  @mattyroc77  Yeah, I thought driver did best he could under circumstances. The sedan was the issue and made things confusing!
    3
  421. Required per some social media platforms. Agree with ya!
    3
  422. Is it in the last 24 hours? If yes, I can try to grab it real quick. If not, Google “MNDOT data request.” Only about 1/4 of crashes are caught on camera. Act fast - they only save data for only so long. Feel free to reach out and let me know how it goes!
    3
  423. Love it!!!
    3
  424.  @elkoperchyshyn9066  Completely agree!
    3
  425. Hey, thanks! We had to take some time off for family/work but got some very interesting videos we are tracking down.
    3
  426.  @mcwoods870  thank you! 😊
    3
  427.  @petershanks7607  Yeah, I definitely get that. My opinion is permit to carry is really overrated. Not a criticism, just my initial reaction. Thanks for watching and working hard to get more videos to show what’s really happening out there!
    3
  428. Yeah, I think this is really good feedback and quite thoughtful. Thank you for posting!
    3
  429. This was only released after we requested and paid for it. It takes quite a bit of work to find these videos :)
    3
  430. Yeah, it’s tough to see in the beginning, but they just seemed to abruptly turn into the wall.
    3
  431. Yeah, I think we’re going to do that instead. :)
    3
  432. Glad you liked it!
    3
  433. Would love to know
    3
  434. 😃
    3
  435. You're welcome 😊
    3
  436. Yeah, good point! I think you can definitely leave the car, but should stay at the scene, right?
    3
  437. Yeah, I agree, this could have been worse. And I was definitely concerned for her safety!
    3
  438. Yeah, good point since driver side is exposed to a lane of traffic.

  439. 🙏
    3
  440. Thanks Kyle! We’ll check it out!
    3
  441. They already have lights at the top of the enterance, I think.
    3
  442.  @IDSnowman  great insight! Definitely have some plans in the works :) :)
    3
  443. I think this was MN77 northbound over the Minnesota river
    3
  444.  @Spy-v6z  Hey, love it
    3
  445. Definitely
    3
  446. Do you know what time and date? Thanks for this tip!
    3
  447. In the video, it looks like an ambulance was dispatched but then cancelled
    3
  448. The videos we post are not endorsements of any behavior. However, to our knowledge, this storm was a major hail producer and that may have limited the attractiveness of other options you proposed.
    3
  449. There’s a saying in policing: “Don’t die with your hand on the radio”
    3
  450. Hey, anything to avoid 252 😉
    3
  451.  @Jim-nq9el  Okay, I’ll buy that. Yeah, he did put in drive quickly, so maybe not quite as close as I initially thought.
    3
  452. :)
    3
  453. Totally!
    3
  454. Imagine the first snowfall…
    3
  455.  @mangos2888  😃
    3
  456. 😉
    3
  457. We were able to independently verify that the driver was able to provide a plate to the police. (For what it’s worth) Some portions of video are cut for time or privacy purposes
    3
  458. Hey Justice For All! Just wanted to say always glad to have you checking out our videos!
    3
  459. Last night a little after 10pm I think! Good question!
    3
  460. 100% Agree, not a weapon.
    3
  461. Yeah, and we would love to know what agency that was...
    3
  462. Yeah, seems he drove right at the car and quickly opened his door…
    3
  463. Glad you like them!
    3
  464. No railroad charges that I saw. DUI and fleeing convictions, one other charge dismissed as far as I know. Very good question!
    3
  465. 😂
    3
  466. 💯
    3
  467. Yeah, cut for time, but she was getting in the tow
    3
  468. They did stop but then, as far as I know, left shortly thereafter.
    3
  469. Yes, definitely good feedback! We need to hire a better editor but unfortunately there's about $0 for that :)
    3
  470.  @Towtrucker9876  Hey, that’s what this channel is all about!
    3
  471.  @Towtrucker9876  absolutely crazy…
    3
  472. Good point!
    3
  473. Yeah, on the original stop…I agree, not a good location. Not sure if maybe the first stop was a motorist assist but the driver seemed to barely get over the left should - very odd and I agree - risky! @Hazacar Robinson
    3
  474. :)
    3
  475. My guess is he just typed it in but not positive.
    3
  476. Yeah...
    3
  477.  @paultaylor256  Yeah, those ‘98s to ‘11s. Definitely remember seeing those ALL OVER THE PLACE. maybe they stayed a bit longer as a fleet car? I though there were maybe 2014 CVPIs…
    3
  478. Those '03 Grand Marquis are practically a classic car these days...
    3
  479.  @joek0617  yeah, there’s a lot more video now so it’s easier to capture these events and publish them
    3
  480.  @apocyldoomer  Oh, well it’s just your comment was discouraging, that’s all. Our videos are exclusive and we work hard to get them to help promote transparency in govt. I’m especially a fan of our playlist of MN police chases ending with a PIT, but I know that’s not for everyone. All the best.
    3
  481.  @TypeRyRy  love it!
    3
  482. Yeah, definitely had that thought
    3
  483. Wow, thank you for sharing, Brenda! 🙏
    3
  484. Wow! Thank you for sharing Tim!
    3
  485. Yeah, I’ve definitely had the same general thought
    3
  486. The fence is always on the higher side of the median so vehicles can’t go over top of them. (They still get pretty close to going over top - we’ve got video, of course 😉)
    3
  487. Had it, lost it. :(
    3
  488. Team effort! 😊
    3
  489.  @jamesalinio5277  😉
    3
  490. Yeah, we’re doing it just this one time to see which “version” does better. (So apologies in advance)
    3
  491. Oh shoot. You're completely right :)
    3
  492. Making a note! 😆
    3
  493. "Hey Siri, please mute this video, I can't take it anymore"
    3
  494. Always!
    3
  495. Great idea!
    3
  496. Glad it was helpful!
    3
  497. Working on it! They just take a surprising amount of work...
    3
  498. That's the word we were looking for!
    3
  499. I had the same question! I don't think so, but I really don't know - and it does sound like a good idea to have one!
    3
  500. Check out MN Crime on YouTube. They got it!
    3
  501. Amazing, right?!
    3
  502. After forensic review, I can confirm
    3
  503.  @paultaylor256  hahaha
    3
  504.  @mosabjaradat4194  I came here all excited to celebrate, but now there’s one dislike :(
    3
  505.  @mr.erikchun5863  exactly. They let him go and he gets hit? BIIIG scandal
    3
  506. Hey, thank you for sharing this.
    3
  507. Hey Fra zier! Just wanted to say always glad to have you checking out our videos!
    3
  508.  @musselmanmedia5236  good question! Definitely monitized but understandably, a good portion of our content is limited or ineligible. But we are learning and getting better over time!
    3
  509. 100% :)
    3
  510. Well said
    3
  511. Niiice! Thank you! Great response!
    3
  512. Nope, just really like highways :)
    3
  513. Hey, great feedback, thank you!
    3
  514.  @Jahp8375  email us at mn.safety.alerts@gmail.com. Thinking of you.
    3
  515. Yay! Thank you!
    3
  516. Welcome aboard!
    3
  517. :)
    2
  518. Required per policy on some platforms, even if post-conviction.
    2
  519. Yeah, I thought he got pretty lucky. And if he was trying to warn drivers, he was clearly invisible to them
    2
  520. Right on!
    2
  521.  @douglas2lee929  Great questions! I don’t know for sure, but I suspect any damage to these Tahoe’s was pretty minimal. The push-bumper is relatively cheap - and quite strong. And the mass difference between a Tahoe vs. Saturn Ion is signing any. So my guess is financial impact is largely insignificant
    2
  522.  @RLTtizME  😉
    2
  523. Yes, but MSP requires a shared channel (LTAC 1) and a request for help (I think?) and they only got on LTAC 1 pretty late into the chase. But I mean, Blaine didn’t give up, that’s for sure!
    2
  524. Saturn’s are great! Really a shame they don’t make ‘em anymore
    2
  525.  @Bryan-od7nv  a classic indeed!
    2
  526. 💯
    2
  527. Wait, did you think it wasn’t a robot?
    2
  528. Much appreciated!
    2
  529. No, unfortunately
    2
  530. There were no roundabouts in this video.
    2
  531.  @duanedelperdang1749  thank you for clarifying!
    2
  532.  @hughgautier3894  Totally awesome and welcome!!! You need to come up here in the summer. 😊
    2
  533. Definitely a good reminder to check treads!
    2
  534. Great point
    2
  535. Yeah, personally not a fan of it. It's my Midwestern sensibilities.
    2
  536. this made me laugh pretty hard
    2
  537. Our pleasure!
    2
  538. For what it’s worth, this was a blizzard warning issued by NWS and winds met or exceeded 58mph with gusts exceeding that, resulting in more than 6” of snow in most areas and pile ups on both I-35 and I-94
    2
  539. Smoke, not sure how I missed your comment but totally agree! I think MNDOT even said they goofed when designing it (I think they didnt expect as much traffic in the middle lane)
    2
  540.  @james3282  💯
    2
  541. Yeah, I think this is a good point!
    2
  542. :)
    2
  543. I hope so! :)
    2
  544. Yes! And I’m starting to think 252 right at 85th is the most dangerous if southbound, because people are just getting off the freeway
    2
  545. 100% correct! Sorry about that!
    2
  546. 1. We don't know if that's true 2. Mom was a calming force in this video.
    2
  547. Yeah, definitely sad to see a crash like that with an innocent victim
    2
  548. 😝
    2
  549. Yeah, and I think a lot of agencies now have them automatically turn off once in park… :)
    2
  550. Agree completely with all of this!
    2
  551. Thanks for this clarification!
    2
  552. I would love to know!
    2
  553.  @bait28  Oh really cool and good to know - that makes sense!
    2
  554.  @anthonycarvelli316  Love it! Thank you!
    2
  555. Are you referring to a particular YouTube channel? :) https://youtu.be/oL3mkgyP0eQ
    2
  556. That is seriously so cool!!! Wow - totally awesome and I'm glad you let us know!
    2
  557. Great point!
    2
  558. Oh good point! Yes, I’m sure they’ve saved countless crashes and enhanced response times. Very cool technology!
    2
  559. Definitely 😉
    2
  560. Fingers crossed!
    2
  561. Hey Alvan! Good insight and thanks for your comment!
    2
  562. Definitely 😉
    2
  563. Agree completely!
    2
  564. Definitely! Could have easily become a grass fire!
    2
  565. I think it was an older Explorer… going just off memory…not completely sure
    2
  566. Wow, so sorry to hear. Thank you for sharing
    2
  567. Glad you think so!
    2
  568. Hi! Check out this playlist and just do the videos that are longer than 8 minutes and let me know what you think? https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNEFoqOYTtcWiOGftuyv5zMzJMhvaYZ5Y The longer ones generally don't perform quite as well, but I'd be really interested in your feedback after checking on some of those?
    2
  569. There’s a link in description to another angle which includes audio and officers immediately call for medics, for what it’s worth. Check out the other squad video - it’s pretty interesting
    2
  570. Not censored. The part 2 video (link in description) has much better audio and includes the PIT
    2
  571. These a second video - link in description - with full audio plus PIT related to this chase. Unfortunately, some agencies have variable AV equipment in the squad cars.
    2
  572. Per my understanding, they had serious injuries
    2
  573. 😳
    2
  574. Hey, I think these are good and thoughtful points. There's a second video (link in description) which has a little more context, too.
    2
  575.  @kurtkensson2059  Agree with all of this! 💯 😊
    2
  576.  @kurtkensson2059  Ha! The winters are only MARGINALLY longer than you remember. Snow is only a few months away! 😉
    2
  577. Certain segments are required to be obscured per YouTube policy in order to meet community guidelines. If we don’t do it, the video may be removed. We work hard to meet all YouTube policies.
    2
  578. Yeah, we post the videos as quickly as we get them. Unfortunately, our requests are not fulfilled until post-conviction, per Minnesota law. So we try to post as fast as we get the video, but it’s almost always after the judicial process is completed.
    2
  579. Completely agree!
    2
  580. I think they checked once the scene was secure and some portions were cut for time. The female officer definitely goes down into the ravine. In the second video which includes the PIT attempt, they call for medics right away. I hope this extra info helps!
    2
  581. :)
    2
  582. Yeah, I think we are going to do dispatch audio instead. That’s be better, right?
    2
  583. Hey, thanks!
    2
  584. Ah, sorry! 😞
    2
  585. Had the same reaction! But maybe she has her ID in there, in which case that’s kinda smart 😉
    2
  586. Yes, here you go. https://youtu.be/YN_ku9gMx7Q
    2
  587. Ohhhh, thank you!
    2
  588. Yep! Agree! Good feedback and working on it!
    2
  589. Definitely curious ourselves!
    2
  590.  @whiplash8277  yep. :) exactly
    2
  591. Post-pandemic world intended merely as a description, nothing more. :)
    2
  592. Thanks
    2
  593. Second!
    2
  594. Same to you!
    2
  595. 😃
    2
  596. Yeah, it’s not for everyone. But with this being online, we really want to help provide as much context as possible. (We’ll definitely keep your feedback in mind and a very fair point!)
    2
  597. Yeah, good point! Definitely get out of the car if it's smoking!
    2
  598. I had the same questions. Yeah, I think finding a safe place also would be fine, since blocking and driver side exposed. Good point!
    2
  599. That’s the million dollar question. I wish I knew.
    2
  600. I think this was the aftermath and it was already outside of Blaine or C/R limits. But actually working on getting the full video from Anoka PD - they initiated and apprehended the suspect!
    2
  601. Thank you!
    2
  602. Oh maybe around 8pm last night
    2
  603. Great tip!
    2
  604. Good feedback, thanks! Yeah, some videos it definitely helps, but others it makes it a little worse, especially if the vehicle in motion, it seems
    2
  605. Hey, good eye. The reference was in relation to the minivan, and we should have been more clear about that
    2
  606. Welcome! 😊
    2
  607. We don’t force you to keep the volume up 😉
    2
  608. Yep! You are completely correct!
    2
  609. I definitely wish I did! 😉
    2
  610. GillyBean!!! Glad you got to see this video!
    2
  611. Cusper Gem!!! Glad you got to see this video!
    2
  612. I believe he was also convicted on DUI charges, for what it’s worth
    2
  613. :)
    2
  614. Wow, you're right
    2
  615. Yeah, anything over __ MPH is gonna be considered lethal force by the agency - and weigh heavy on their conscience if victim is hurt
    2
  616. Warner, thank you for sharing this!
    2
  617. Good point and thank you for sharing this!
    2
  618. Hey, thank you for sharing! Really appreciate it! Thinking of you, my friend!
    2
  619. Hey, that’s a great story - and it stays with you because YOU CARED and wanted to DO RIGHT. Tough situation with it being a commander. Really tough, but you’re heart was right and your commander was the one in the wrong. Always appreciate your comments!
    2
  620. Our understanding is that there were complex and dynamic weather and traffic factors at play. Large hail, limited visibility and heavy traffic may have limited other routes. Ultimately, we are glad this family made it to safety - others did not.
    2
  621. If you really believe that, you should report it to the police or CPS. Once we receive a court order, we will provide the names of parents to law enforcement. However, per the family, when the kids get to read comments like this, they giggle. So sounds like they’re doing well.
    2
  622. Our understanding is that there were complex and dynamic weather and traffic factors at play. Large hail, limited visibility and heavy traffic may have limited other routes. Ultimately, we are glad this family made it to safety - others did not. For what it’s worth, we recommend keeping in mind that tornado warnings were delayed on this day due to an NWS system issue.
    2
  623. Wow, thank you for sharing.
    2
  624. Very true 😉
    2
  625. Classic. I know it goes back to at least the late 90s but not sure when it started.
    2
  626.  @popcorn5130  😊
    2
  627. 💯
    2
  628. Thank you very much!
    2
  629. Love this comment! Thank you!!! 😃
    2
  630. Thank you!
    2
  631. 😉
    2
  632. Thanks for listening
    2
  633. Yep! It is!
    2
  634. Definitely :)
    2
  635. Yeah…
    2
  636. Dang. So sorry to hear that
    2
  637. Still image here from point of impact: https://twitter.com/safetyalertsmn/status/1429940498203086850?s=21
    2
  638. Correct, cop had right of way in minnesaota.
    2
  639. I’m as surprised as you are.
    2
  640. Still image here from point of impact: https://twitter.com/safetyalertsmn/status/1429940498203086850?s=21
    2
  641. Thank you for sharing this! A very important reminder to all of us to be a little more careful the next time we head out for a drive. ❤️
    2
  642.  @pudelz  Yep! And I’ve now quoted the law in the description, too.
    2
  643. Yeah, I think troopers came out, as near as I can tell but not positive
    2
  644. Always glad to see you are watching!
    2
  645. Steve, thank you for your service!
    2
  646. James, thank you for sharing this!
    2
  647. I appreciate that!
    2
  648. 💯
    2
  649. Minnesota nice
    2
  650. Yeah, I think this is a pretty fair point.
    2
  651. Hey, thank you. We thought this was a sad but important story to tell.
    2
  652. Correct. There are not cops every few miles on the freeway.
    2
  653. It’s just a placeholder to protect the privacy of the driver.
    2
  654. Some social media policies require it, even post conviction. 🤷‍♂️
    2
  655. All I know is one vehicle involved. Good question!
    2
  656. 💯
    2
  657. @ sir this is a YouTube channel
    2
  658. Eric Esterby! Definitely a good question!
    2
  659. Trying something new...added you as a comment moderator but no idea how it works!
    2
  660. It's going to be crazy. SMH
    2
  661. Hey DeafDiver3279! Good insight and thanks for your comment!

    2
  670. We only keep video for about 24 hours 😞
    2
  671. Thanks! 😊
    2
  672. Yeah, there’s a programmer, and then a few volunteers. But 95% of the money is reinvested or goes to cover costs. 😊
    2
  673. You’ve been here since the beginning!
    2
  674. End of year 2022 is the goal for 100k 😊
    2
  675. Yep! That's why we highlighted the option of the individual who moved behind the wall. My guess is this is a pretty safe option if you can get there. Good insight!
    2
  676. Glad you enjoyed it!
    2
  677. Thank you!
    2
  678. Yes, for sure! And crews actually had to fully remove the pole in the days after
    2
  679.  @prunabluepepper  hey, good insight and thank you for sharing!
    2
  680. Definitely :)
    2
  681. Definitely a good point!
    2
  682. It's so good!
    2
  683. Thanks for the view! Big fan of your channel! :)
    2
  684. 😉
    2
  685.  @rickk.2912  definitely good point!
    2
  686. 😉
    2
  687. Thank you, thank you!
    2
  688. 😉
    2
  689. I got the sense that it was a CPD helo, but not positively confirmed.
    2
  690.  @michaelf7093  I do think being a college town helps.
    2
  691. Hey Devyn Selnes! Good insight and thanks for your comment!
    2
  692. Me too!
    2
  693. We take these from a livestream which has a little bit lower quality than the version DOT receives in their center. We use an AI/ML system to help enhance/restore some of the quality. A portion of the crashes happen quite a bit in the distance, which means we lose some quality there too. We’re definitely working to improve the video quality though!
    2
  694. Whoa, don't come here to defend Chicago drivers :) just kidding - great comment and good insight!
    2
  695. :D
    2
  696. Definitely a lot of pickups too…
    2
  697.  @doglover-sv4zi  these are homicides.
    2
  698. Glad you enjoy it!

  699. Hey woody4u247! Just wanted to say always glad to have you checking out our videos!
    2
  700.  @Towtrucker9876  mn.safety.alerts@gmail.com
    2
  701.  @ryanparshall9582  Well, there are lots of exceptions written for police into law. We let them hide out on the shoulder, for example, without their blinkers on. And make u-turns in the median. That’s just part of policing - and allowed not just in the US, but similar practices seen in Canada and Europe. Not disagreeing - just providing some context. Thanks for the comment! :)
    2
  702. Wow, I am so sorry to hear that! Thank you for sharing this!
    2
  703. Yeah, definitely a good point!
    2
  704.  @paultaylor256  I’m sorry Paul, we’re going to have to kick you out. 😉 Just kidding. Please don’t tell anyone, but sometimes I like them too!
    2
  705. Sometimes we go on vacation.

  707. Yeah, agreed.

  708. 💯

  709.  @mahdey  This is very good to know!
    2
  710. Thank you for posting this!
    2
  711.  @debbie4503  we have two videos from ASP. Both are among our most viewed video. Go to the channel page and then sort by most popular. One is a Uhaul chase and the other is a motorcycle. :)
    2
  712. Mike, great response and thank you for your service!
    2
  713. Yep. That’s the one! Yeah, smdh
    2
  714. Yes, and state patrol used to have more flexibility but … tragedy stuck, involving kids. Maybe 2018 or so in Minneapolis…?
    2
  715. Dang. Sorry to hear that.
    2
  716. Robert! So glad to meet you and thank you for your service! Thank you for sharing the story! From my observations, state patrol have gotten better at wearing hi-viz but only if doing prolonged stints outside of the vehicle or bad weather. I would guess you are right - it’s a balancing game between trying to stay hidden due to concerns about gun violence vs staying highly visible to motorists. Hi-viz is more common by officers than it used to be but clearly still less common than UK/NZ/Australia
    2
  717. I actually think there might be something too that idea. Maybe they can deploy off overpasses and drop down
    2
  718. Good to know! Thank you!
    2
  719. Uniden digital - about $400 since it needs to be all digital 800mhz We work really hard to record about 500 cameras, which actually takes a bit of work and cash, but a labor of love to help promote real traffic safety
    2
  720. Totally agree! If you watch the video, there's an edit to clarify that 3 semi's were involved (comment edit in bottom left of screen)
    2
  721. These videos are worth what you pay for them
    2
  722. Had it and lost it, unfortunately. Next time!
    2
  723. Thanks for your post, David!
    2
  724. In this video, despite taking the force of several vehicles and the full force of a semi, it never snapped. I think the research is pretty overwhelming on how these are a total game changer for safety.
    2
  725. 💯
    2
  726. N64 graphics :)
    2
  727. 😊
    2
  728. 💯
    2
  729. Relatively so. I believe around April 7
    2
  730. Thanks!
    2
  731. 😉 😊
    2
  732. Yeah, that’s definitely a bummer. But are they livestreams? If yes, we could archive them, but it costs $$$
    2
  733. Thank you so much 😀
    2
  734.  @mikejohnson6347  Totally fair points. It’s just some of us are on team MSP 😉
    2
  735. He couldn't outrun the cameras!
    2
  736. Thank you for sharing this!
    2
  737. Yeah…
    2
  738. Thanks for watching!
    2
  739. Any chance you think it might be Roseville that far east?
    2
  740. Yeah, I think that’s one reason among many why it was so shocking to everyone - the force was just totally overwhelming
    2
  741. Great question, wish I knew the answer!
    2
  742. Oh yeah, it’s definitely crazy. We have dozens and dozens of alerts from YouTube about other places using the content. We can’t keep up, unfortunately
    2
  743. I just really like rainbows. Reminds me of the old Apple logo in the 80s.
    2
  744.  @kenw6691  If the bail bond company is constantly losing money like this though, how do they make money?? (I think that’s one of my big questions…)
    2
  745. Nice.
    2
  746. A very insightful comment imo 👆 thanks!
    2
  747. Definitely!!!
    2
  748. It’s a verrrry narrow highway…
    2
  749. 😉
    2
  750. Yeah, crazy right! They had to change a tire in the midst of this!
    2
  751.  @alzuu1  me too! It’s definitely hard to see! 😊
    2
  752.  @Capt_OscarMike  Sir, this is a Wendy’s
    2
  753. In MN, this is a trooper uniform. But I agree - normally we associate brown with county...
    2
  754. Yes, same here - I have not previously seen this configuration in the US. But when it is used, looks like having an attenuator is a requirement (thankfully!)
    2
  755. Oh! Nice work! Yeah...slide switch 1 would make sense
    2
  756. Yes it was!
    2
  757. Glad you think so!
    2
  758. Thanks
    2
  759. Oh thank you!
    2
  760. 100%! Yeah, someone else suggested he just went to slide switch 1, which would make sense for the reasons you mention
    2
  761. Hey Kevin Doty! Good insight and thanks for your comment!
    2
  762. Hey Charles Fritzen! Good insight and thanks for your comment!

  768. Very rarely! Trying something new!
    2
  769. Thank you!!! :)
    2
  770. Yeah, good point!
    2
  771. Thank you! Will do!
    2
  772. Thank you!
    2
  773. ohhhh, nice one!
    2
  774. Hey! First of all, great avatar! Any chance you have dashcam? We unfortunately were not archiving that camera but might reach out to MNDOT for video.
    2
  775. 💯
    2
  776. Great info, thank you!
    2
  777. Yeah…

  782. 😃
    1
  783. :D
    1
  784. Oh good question! I think it was speed more than 15mph over. (But I'm going off memory here - not totally sure.)
    1
  785. Any time!
    1
  786. Wow! That’s a pretty incredible story! How are you feeling now? What make/model did you have…sounds like it protected you pretty well?
    1
  787. Sweeter words never spoken
    1
  788.  @mangos2888  yeah, I agree with that, right? So an emphasis on discontinuing a chase will lead to less liability, if I understand correctly?
    1
  789. The audio in the video suggests he had a felony warrant for criminal sexual conduct.
    1
  790. Great idea!!!
    1
  791. Haha, definitely!
    1
  792. 😉
    1
  793. Yeah, I’m generally in agreement with this perspective, for what it’s worth
    1
  794. Thank you, Aaron! That means a lot!
    1
  795. Yeah 😞
    1
  796. No.

  797. No injuries and free to post with credit. Thanks!
    1
  798. Yep! Totally and stay in touch, okay? You’ve got some great content
    1
  799. Yeah, I think this is a very good point.
    1
  800. Hi Victor, do you have a resource or link? We'd be happy to include it or make any correction
    1
  801. Greatest compliment ever
    1
  802. Hey, I just want to add that you seem like a nice person and I’m sorry we got off on the wrong foot. You are more than welcome to get your own videos from MNDOT and post to YouTube. I wish you the best.
    1
  803.  @trackamp3951  well duh there’s a logo. Did you find a link yet? Because this is all material that’s never before been seen by the public
    1
  804.  @trackamp3951  you’re lying. If it’s true, send a link.
    1
  805. If you can find the content on another channel, please let me know.
    1
  806. 😉
    1
  807. Yeah, it made me curious if one was paying attention in driver's ed...

  815. yes!

  818. Sure!

  820. 100%
    1
  821. Definitely nice!
    1
  822. :)
    1
  823. This made me laugh! Definitely experienced this same thing during rush hour a couple of times!
    1
  824. Great idea!
    1
  825. :)
    1
  826. Thank you! You're right, I definitely should have mentioned it!
    1
  827. Thanks! Unfortunately no details on the fire. Sorry!
    1
  828. This was not released publicly. It was obtained through an open records act request by MN Safety and we were charged by the state patrol to receive a copy of the incident.
    1
  829. :) Thanks for posting this!
    1
  830. :)
    1
  831.  @jakestalec4752  Very good to know! Thank you!
    1
  832. Oh, thank you! Very helpful to know!
    1
  833. Thank you and good to know!
    1
  834.  @brianleeper5737  Yeah, and I’ve wondered if most agencies have an automatic park-kill function? It shouldn’t be on if the vehicle is in park, but I have no idea if that’s actually the case.
    1
  835. Great points!
    1
  836. Totally awesome!
    1
  837.  @douglashayes3167  ah, gotcha, fair point :)
    1
  838. 😊
    1
  839. Love it! Awesome!

  840.  @brianleeper5737  hahaha, niiiice
    1
  841. Wow, fascinating!
    1
  842. I'm curious too! Glad they're safe!
    1
  843. Wow…dang! Grad you are safe my friend
    1
  844. :)
    1
  845. Yeah, on freeways I think many public safety agencies want the cars to move off to the shoulder if drivable.
    1
  846. Very true
    1
  847. Hey Nick, I’m glad you posted this! Please feel free to keep us updated and let us know if there’s a Go Fund Me - we can definitely include a link to that. Appreciate you speaking up and speaking out. We need to always be caring for each other!
    1
  848. Cassy! Thank you for posting this! Definitely a good reminder to everyone - this is not a game but a REAL PERSON with friends and family that care for her! Please feel free to keep us updated on her recovery and let us know if there is a go fund me. We will definitely add a link. We have been working hard to expose the dangers of the Lowry Tunnel for some time now and hope that those in power will do something about it.
    1
  849. Correct! Link in description
    1
  850. Required per policy on some platforms. But check out part 2 video - link in description
    1
  851. I don't think so... This is Minnetonka and I think she's with a different agency, but not sure.
    1
  852.  @troyholmes7307  Me too! 💯
    1
  853. Serious injuries were reported and that’s all I know. Sorry I don’t have more details.
    1
  854.  @petershanks7607  😉
    1
  855. Meh, the increase in crime seems universal - happening in most cities. And it’s still below the highs of the 60s, 80s, 90s in most locations (but not all) There’s debate as to wether the increase in crime will be short term or long term. I wish I knew.
    1
  856. 😊
    1
  857. There’s a link to a second video where the police squad did a PIT and that squad car has superior AV equipment. I hope that helps!
    1
  858.  @Furious321  Yep!
    1
  859. I’ve definitely thought about running for sheriff just so I could fix some policies! 😊
    1
  860. The part 2 video (link in description) has much better audio and includes the PIT
    1
  861. We post the videos as fast as we can once we receive them, but they are not public until post-conviction. I hope that helps explain the delay. :)
    1
  862. See description - there's a link to second squad video that did a PIT that had better AV equipment in their car :)
    1
  863. I think fire and rescue was started once they notified dispatch of a crash. And I think they'll have to secure the scene before medics will go in, as a general rule of thumb. These are my best guess though... not positive and I appreciate your comment!
    1
  864. Unfortunately, the video is not public until post conviction. Once we get the video, we try to post quickly, regardless of season
    1
  865. This squad didn’t have good audio but there’s a link to a second video in the description with much better audio and PIT
    1
  866. 😉
    1
  867. 🤣
    1
  868. The part 2 video (link in description) has much better audio and includes the PIT
    1
  869. Thank you. Working hard to find and publish these videos to inform the public!
    1
  870. Yes, that is correct. I believe they recovered his wheel chair in the back of the minivan.
    1
  871.  @MaxellAdGuy  a lot of times we post the dispatch audio along with the video footage, so I think that’s what they’re referring to
    1
  872. I think Minnesota is an exception. Most states do not record and Minnesota is the only one I am aware of that does. But I’d be curious about others.
    1
  873. ❤️

  874. Si!!! 🙏
    1
  875. Thank you very much!

  876.  @KevinMartin314  I think we’ll have some legal updates early next year to share. Just can’t share at the moment.
    1
  877. 💯
    1
  878. 😉 Reading your comment made me laugh. Agree!
    1
  879. Yeah, I think these are totally fair points about the missing details and the ending off screen. We are trying to get better over time - just volunteers at the moment. (But I agree with your feedback!)
    1
  880. 😉
    1
  881. More info here: https://www.dot.state.mn.us/rtmc/
    1
  882. I don’t work for DOT or MSP, but as near as I can tell, they have about 600 - 800 cameras. They seem to archive on them but only save footage for a few days. It’s definitely an impressive system!
    1
  883.  @danhard8440  thank you!
    1
  884. Wink
    1
  885. :)
    1
  886. Me too!
    1
  887. Yeah, good point - not worth the risk!
    1
  888.  @davidjkuchar  completely agree
    1
  889. Maybe just REALLY had to get to work?
    1
  890. Yeah, that’s my understanding as well
    1
  891. Yeah yeah, fair point!
    1
  892. Yeah, I think you bring up a good point about a crash that is still blocking on the freeway. If you can get out and get behind a suitable barrier, I would think that's a pretty good option. Thanks for the feedback - definitely appreciated!
    1
  893. 😉

  894. Salt is not very effective below 20F, and certainly has little effect at -4F
    1
  895. Hey, thank you for the comment!
    1
  896. We cut some of the most boring parts :)
    1
  897. I think something can be both visually spectacular and also bad. Spectacular is not an endorsement. I apologize if you get offended easily by YouTube videos We are not aware of any serious injuries related to this incident
    1
  898. It is not in slow motion - just low frame rate on the original source video
    1
  899. Any time!
    1
  900. Hey, completely agree and you're 100% correct. Just wanted to let you know - based on the feedback of you and others, this has been addressed. Permanently.

  901. ❤️

  902. Hey, thank you. Just been busy with new job and getting in the swing of things

  904. Thanks for that!

  905. Me too!

  906. Failed sobriety test

  907. This was Wisconsin but both states seem pretty reluctant to put people in jail...

  908.  @ducewags  Wow, that’s incredible
    1
  909. I would love to know
    1

  920. I imagine they slowed as they got closer to the squad car but the probable cause statement filed in court advised they had a speed measure of 120 over 60mph. Good question!
    1
  921.  @JetSettingBotanist  hey, I get the sentiment though! Live a little, ya know! 😉
    1
  922. It was A LOT of work
    1

  932. Our understanding is that there were complex and dynamic weather and traffic factors at play. Large hail, limited visibility and heavy traffic may have limited other routes. Ultimately, we are glad this family made it to safety - others did not. For what it’s worth, we recommend keeping in mind that tornado warnings were delayed on this day due to an NWS system issue.
    1
  933. Hi @flint Yes, we agree. What’s not shown in the video is that: (1) warnings were delayed for this tornado due to a bug by NWS (2) other paths were extremely dangerous (zero visibility, hail cores, etc.) (3) The current path of a tornado is not a guarantee of its future path.

  934. ALL CAPS

  947. Per our understanding, he was pretty busy in that moment. There’s a police saying, “don’t die with your hand on the radio.”

  948. I think this comment makes quite the assumption that they went “tornado chasing”

  970. Thank you!

  971. Yeah, it's an experiment. Not sure what to think of it yet. Definitely some stuff I don't like, and also we had dispatch audio, so maybe just go with the dispatch audio only next time? What do you think?

  982.  @steeltentadventures3918  Yeah, are we going by the law or by values? I agree the officer should not have proceeded, but I think by law it’s legal in Minnesota (and varies greatly from state to state)
    1
  983.  @steeltentadventures3918  Yeah, even at the time of impact, it was still yellow for the officer.

  989.  @NEMPLS  Yeah, I think it’s okay to say, “hey, police officers, school bus drivers, etc” should not be running a late yellow light.” That’s totally fine and I support that! I just want to clarify though, in the eyes of the law, I suspect the red light runner is 100% at fault (and no one should be going through a solid red like that.) That’s my best guess, at least. Not saying I’m completely right. Sound good?

  997. Wow!
    1
  998. There is no wider view of the original incident.
    1
  999. Hey Ben, thank you for this. We’re just a volunteer outfit, so there’s a surprising amount that we miss. I’m not sure there’s much in the way of MNDOT cameras towards Mankato but let me know? And feel free to send any tips or video to mn.safety.alerts@gmail.com
    1
  1000. Hey, sounds great! Have them email mn.safety.alerts@gmail.com. We’re flexible!

  1001. Hey Randall, thank you for sharing this story

  1002. Jordan, thank you for your service!

  1003. Thanks so much
    1
  1004. I don't believe there were any serious injuries, to the best of my knowledge...
    1
  1005. Minnesota nice :)
    1
  1006. Thank you very much!
    1
  1007. Yeah, quite sad…
    1
  1008. Wow!!
    1
  1009.  @mikemiller9119  dang, sorry to hear that. 😞
    1
  1010.  @mikemiller9119  We’ve certainly posted video of those instances. Definitely check out the wrong way playlist!

  1048. Hey, thanks for the response!!
    1
  1049.  @TommyJonesProductions  Good luck in your ability to convince others. (I don’t think you’ll be successful, but hey, go for it.) I hope you have a good 2022 and wish you the best.
    1
  1050.  @TommyJonesProductions  concrete=super expensive, inflexible. The cables are much waaaaay cheaper and better at flexing/absorbing.
    1
  1051.  @TommyJonesProductions  what’s your proposal?
    1
  1052.  @TommyJonesProductions  I’m not going to argue about this. If you want to be safe on a freeway, don’t ride a bike. Really absurd to make driving dangerous for everyone else so that you can ride what you want
    1
  1053. Everything slices up motorcyclists
    1
  1054. 🙏
    1
  1055. Nope
    1
  1056. Today is not January at all.
    1
  1057. Everything next to a road is dangerous for a motorcycle. And you probably shouldn’t ride a motorcycle in the winter.
    1
  1058. 😉
    1
  1059. It is incredible!
    1
  1060. Wildflower wind!!! Glad you got to see this video!

  1061. Me too!
    1
  1062. I'm sorry to hear that! How is he doing?!
    1
  1063. 100%
    1
  1064. Meh, this happens in every state. In Minnesota, it just happens to be on camera
    1
  1065. Yeah, I think there are certainly situations where people need to escape - but make sure to get well off the roadway (and put your hazards on if possible :)
    1
  1066. Thanks for the feedback! (Really - honest and candid feedback is appreciated! We are always working to be better.)
    1
  1067. I don’t think there’s any jitter at 0:18. We used a Ken Burns effect to zoom/track the car but that’s it.
    1
  1068. Glad you like them!
    1
  1069. Yeah, I think pull forward to safe location. But being a pedestrian on the freeway is much more risky than being inside a car on the freeway, unless you have a strong barrier between you and the flow of traffic
    1
  1070. We have a pretty wild Rochest crash coming up. Stay tuned.
    1
  1071. Thank you for watching!
    1
  1072. Oh, thank you! Can you send a link to a video of theirs?
    1
  1073. Nope, they’re just traffic cameras.
    1
  1074. What does a human trafficker look like on camera?
    1
  1075. The cameras are a fixed cost and roads are super expensive infrastructure. In terms of costs, these cameras are likely well under 1/1000th of their annual MNDOT budget. (And the cameras are extremely useful)
    1
  1076. They have tons of salt trucks - and use them. And the cameras are a fixed cost - once installed, there’s very little upkeep. Lots of states have crashes like this all the time - it’s just in Minnesota we can catch it on camera
    1
  1077. Hundreds of thousands of individuals have viewed the video. You’re the first to be offended by it. For what it’s worth, I think it’s a reference to the fact that even good drivers make mistakes and no driver is perfect.
    1
  1078. That seems to be a pretty vague concern about public cameras, publicly disclosed and available to anyone 🤷‍♂️
    1
  1079. Great eye!
    1
  1080. Thanks!
    1
  1081.  @wesleyhobbs2332  no, trauma centers did not suddenly improve in the last 2 years.
    1
  1082.  @Yosetime  year to date compared to last year at this same date 😊
    1
  1083. Thanks a ton
    1
  1084. It does not - but definitely a good idea worth considering!
    1
  1085. Hey Burneezy! Good insight and thanks for your comment!
    1
  1086. @Linda NWFirefighter - very good points as always!
    1
  1087. I think that was because of the position of the car on the original stop. Good question!
    1
  1088. definitely
    1
  1089. Yeah, I think my MN law he still needed to slow down. When I watch the video, I’m pretty sure he’s still doing highway speeds but not positive.
    1
  1090. I’m not aware of any evidence the driver slowed below highway speeds. For what it’s worth, they admitted responsibility in this matter
    1
  1091. We really just post videos as we get them. We were one of the first to post the shooting of Daunte Wright as well as the testimony of a 911 dispatcher who immediately called a supervisor after seeing Chauvin’s use of force on Mr. Floyd. We’ve posted several videos in which officers were sanctioned or criminally prosecuted, or videos where their decisions were highly questionable or resulted in policy changes. Definitely good feedback and we’ll keep it in mind!

  1095. Oh, thanks for letting us know! Two fatal incidents overnight (1) https://twitter.com/marctwincities/status/1412253200548339714?s=21 (2) https://twitter.com/5aftermidnite/status/1412294172212711428?s=21 But a rollover on 494 and 35w is news to me! Do you know about what time?
    1
  1096. Nice insight!! Thanks!!!
    1
  1097. Nice! That’s always awesome to see!
    1
  1098. Good insight!!
    1
  1099. I had the same questions!
    1
  1100. Definitely had the same thought!
    1
  1101. Thanks! Do you have a source for this that we can include?
    1
  1102.  @phatgringo2.0  💯
    1
  1103. Wow!!! Glad you were on the better side!
    1
  1104. Same here! Yes, unfortunately, some states still not on 800mhz :(
    1
  1105. We will try to get better over time! And it’s certainly an experiment - not sure if it’ll stick around or not. Appreciate the feedback-seriously!
    1
  1106. In this instance, it appeared they were arrested.
    1
  1107. Was it on the freeway? The dashcam footage is only available post-conviction but we are working on getting more video from Rochester area!
    1
  1108. Thank you so much 😀
    1
  1109. @Daniel Joseph Delta 44 Semper Fi  I don’t work for the government. Might want to relax, just a bit. You’re wound up tighter than those cables.
    1
  1110. As we noted in the video, it limited lateral movement.No one was injured in this video.
    1
  1111. I don’t think you looked at our channel very much
    1
  1112. At highway speeds, EVERYTHING is deadly to a biker 🤷‍♂️
    1
  1113. This is not a government channel and we have no association with MNDOT
    1
  1114. Nope.

  1116. No soy
    1
  1117. Welcome! 😊
    1
  1118. There’s a tiny edit we did in post :)
    1
  1119. We have tons of videos of cars flying across the median
    1
  1120. I think the 3rd semi actually was the fastest, so apologies for saying it was the second. I don’t think you could outrun the 3rd…
    1
  1121. 😃 thank you!
    1
  1122. There were no injuries in this crash.
    1
  1123. We have hundreds of crash videos on our channel. Zero involve injuries from the cables.
    1
  1124. Ben, thank you for your post! How are you doing?!
    1
  1125.  @leahheffernan4644  I dunno, seems to be asking a lot from taxpayers to redo thousands of miles of fencing with something more expensive just so you can have fun on a bike on the freeway and get killed by a million other obstacles and risks I’m not against replacing them with something safer - I’m just skeptical that it’ll happen or that it’s easy or efficient.
    1
  1126. So is like… everything?
    1
  1127. It was the 3rd.
    1
  1128. We have hundreds of crash videos on our channel. Zero involve injuries from the cables.
    1
  1129.  @RichDunn  Minnesota before and after: https://www.dot.state.mn.us/trafficeng/reports/BeforeAfterStudy11-2012.pdf Michigan research: https://www.michigan.gov/documents/mdot/RC1612_Spotlight_479486_7.pdf Some research in Florida suggests major reductions in head on and fatal crashes but a small increase in minor crashes.
    1
  1130.  @RichDunn  if you’re a motorcycle, heading across the center median, that’s pretty bad news… But you are welcome the google stats on efficacy related to the median cable barriers
    1
  1131.  @RichDunn  I mean, stop light poles will kill riders. But we still have stop lights. While maybe this video isn’t the best example, median cable barriers save a ton of lives.
    1
  1132. Like, when you’re on a motorcycle, LOTS of things can hurt you
    1
  1133. If railings scare you on a motorcycle, then you probably shouldn’t be riding? 🤷‍♂️
    1
  1134. I guess it's really the 3rd semi that came in hot. But it's a pile up and the title and thumbnail represent that. I think the video is going to stay up but check back in a few hours to find out.
    1
  1135. No
    1
  1136. If you’re aware of another channel that published this video before us, please let us know. (You won’t find it.)
    1
  1137. Thanks!!!
    1
  1138. This is not correct
    1
  1139. We have hundreds of crash videos on our channel. A good portion involve them stopping vehicles from flying into oncoming traffic
    1
  1140. Hey David, do you happen to have a link with the newer technology you reference?
    1
  1141. Thank you Lori, definitely a good reminder!
    1
  1142. Hi, I’m pretty sure we’re the only channel with this video and we’ve got a lot more like it - I guess we could have been more specific, but lots of our content is exclusive, never before seen. I hope this helps and thanks for the feedback.
    1
  1143. It seems to me, if you’re a motorcyclist, there are a lot of things that can slice, crush or blast you to bits
    1
  1144. If you’re aware of another channel posting these videos before us, please let us know. (But you won’t find one.)
    1
  1145. These videos are worth what you pay for them
    1
  1146. Yes. But there were no injuries in this event
    1
  1147. We have tons of videos of these cables stop being semi trucks and even in this video, it corrals each and every vehicle that was heading across the median.
    1
  1148. Thank you!
    1
  1149. Yes. No injuries
    1
  1150. 100%

    1
  1157.  @brianmcdaid3178  hahaha! It is indeed!
    1
  1158. Definitely :)
    1
  1159. I agree!
    1
  1160. Not smart enough to figure it out!
    1
  1161.  @jameshall1300  JJmodelmaking on Twitter :)
    1
  1162. Cali class, Neo-Constitution and Akira class :)
    1
  1163. This intersection was equipped with an opticon, which gave the officer a green light and all other traffic a red light. It's the white light on the stop light pole over the intersection - visible in the video. Good question!
    1
  1164. Yeah, I think that's very good insight!
    1
  1165. His jurisdiction certainly includes MPLS
    1
  1166. I’m pretty sure it was an ST package with some pretty generic upgrades for a basic light/siren package
    1
  1167. I’m not sure if we quite understand this comment but welcome any feedback
    1
  1168. It was just him burping a lot and pretty gross. (And boring)
    1
  1169. Hey, thank you so much for sharing this! Thinking of you and your ongoing recovery process. 🙏
    1
  1170. Yeah, I think that’s a fair point. Thanks for posting!
    1
  1171. Thank you! Very insightful post!
    1
  1172. 😉
    1
  1173. Thanks for the post! Culturally, Minnesota “feels” a lot like Colorado … just no mountains 😞
    1
  1174. This made me laugh
    1
  1175. Right, but I guess how would you feel if a reckless driver killed your innocent family members?
    1
  1176. 100%
    1
  1177. Unfortunately, we missed it :( But always reach out with any tips!
    1
  1178. Yeah, I think this is a good description of the considerations in Twin Cities
    1
  1179. 😃
    1
  1180. Glad you like them!
    1
  1181. Niiiice
    1
  1182. What's the temperature today?
    1
  1183. :)
    1
  1184. Oh wow!
    1
  1185. These videos are worth what you pay for them 😉
    1
  1186. Is this in regards to this video? Any injuries appeared pretty minor…
    1
  1187. 💯
    1
  1188. Totally agree!
    1
  1189. BWC is private data in MN, unless officer involved shooting… :(
    1
  1190. Agree completely!
    1
  1191. 😊
    1
  1192. Thank you very much!
    1
  1193. That's the plan!
    1
  1194. Definitely need to get it scripted to avoid those!
    1
  1195. These videos are worth what you pay for them
    1
  1196. Awesome, thank you!
    1
  1197. Check out our Twitter but it occurred off camera. Definitely appreciate the tip!
    1
  1198. Glad you like them!
    1
  1199. I had the same thought and just don’t know! But definitely crossed my mind!
    1
  1200. Yeah, I was a little surprised/disappointed to see that myself. #AmberLightsMatter
    1
  1201. Make sure to subscribe to MN Traffic Live - it’ll get posted there if crash on camera
    1
  1202. Thanks, I’ll take a look! Going through all the crashes from yesterday just now!
    1
  1203. Yeah, I was disappointed when I saw that as well.
    1
  1204. Awesome, thank you!
    1
  1205. Yeah, I wasn’t sure if the primary squad was a bit slow to update their location during the first parts of the chase? What do you think?
    1
  1206. Oops! Fixed. 😬
    1
  1207. 😬 fixed but 3 hours too late
    1
  1208. Yeah, totally get those concerns. I suspect the totality of the circumstances in this case suggest he may have been involved in the drug trade. However, I don’t know if there was any forfeiture in this matter or not.
    1
  1209. Oops 😬
    1
  1210. I just really like rainbows. Reminds me of the old Apple logo in the 80s. But you are welcome to unsubscribe if logos trigger you :)

  1211. Rainbows are a sign of God's promise to humans. I don't consider that to be a far left ideology.
    1
  1212. Thanks, I really appreciate it!

  1225. I can’t tell if this is sarcastic or not, but at $30 per hour, that would be about $40.50 of payroll. If people are upset, I’ll cover the $40.50. 😊

  1251. Hahaha, I highly doubt that’s the official - or unofficial - position of the state patrol. And I don’t think you have been designated to speak on their behalf, lol. But if you have any specific objections of your own, let us know!

  1260. This incident was from September 2021 and we try to post videos pretty quickly - a much faster turn-around time since we have access to videos in real time.
