really, there's no point running, esp with traffic/dash cams around

The odds are with you. A quick look in the sky, and you’re good. They are so short staffed as it is. That helicopter is shared by all police forces.

It’s rare to see Air 1 out patrolling unless its a weekend where people are out and about.

If they are up, it would be odd that they would be using a 3.5 million dollar helicopter, that costs 2 million dollars per year to keep running, specifically for traffic duties.

Unless you are running for a good reason to the Sgt in charge, they will call off the pursuit.

Issuing a traffic violation ticket, or a VI is not usually a good enough reason alone.

Even if they do get your plate and come to your house to arrest you, good luck for them proving in court who was driving.
