Google Street View Driver Runs From The Cops

Think we’ll get to see the chase on Google Maps?

These days it seems like everyone’s running from the cops and seeing that a Google Street View driver did just that in Middletown, Indiana sure is helping fuel the feeling. According to police, on July 31 at about 5 pm the chief, not an officer, was the one who initiated the pursuit. The only thing that would make this situation weirder would be if Bigfoot were found in the cargo area.

Woman ran from the cops because her mother was dying.

Middletown Police Department says Chief Landon J. Dean determined the Google Street View vehicle was going well over 100 mph on US 36. As you can see in the photos, the vehicle is clearly identified with wrap and has all the camera equipment on a roof tripod, plus California plates.

We assume traveling over 100 mph while mapping out a road isn’t standard procedure for Google employees, but we also have zero experience with this sort of work, so who knows? One thing’s for sure, the local police chief didn’t take kindly to the speeding vehicle, so he gave chase and caught up. Yet the scofflaw driver persisted.
