For weeks, officers of the California Highway Patrol in Haywood, California were reportedly running into the same problem: a gray BMW M4 wouldn't stop running from them. But the driver wasn't just fast, according to police — posting videos of high-speed pursuits to his own Instagram and YouTube accounts. But the cat-and-mouse game finally came to an end last week, when the highway patrol finally managed to stop the speeding Bimmer and take its driver into custody.
CHP Hayward said on Instagram that the drama started about a month ago, with the BMW reportedly taunting officers and sparking several pursuits. It wasn't subtle. "We are unaware of the exact number of posts he made, but we were able to find five different videos relevant to the case," Officer Mendibil told local outlet KRON4.
The final act came early on the morning of August 6. With help from Air 37, a helicopter from CHP's Napa air unit, officers spotted the M4 again. True to form, the driver hit the throttle, reportedly reaching speeds of 170 mph — and attempted to disappear. This time, it didn't work.
CHP says the driver was 33-year-old Jasnoor Singh Toor, who was arrested on charges of reckless driving and felony evading. Authorities seized his BMW M4 for 30 days under California Vehicle Code 14602.7. In a statement, the agency reminded the public that "no amount of attention is worth" risking lives with this type of high-speed driving. It's a lesson for any thrill seeker, the internet is forever and police scroll it too. CHP's blunt closing note in a post made that clear: "Don't run, We will catch you. Drive smart."
