Kind of sets up a scenario where people who get sick will not be able to get an ambulance, traffic accidents because of driver impatience and more serious crimes being commited and evryone is playing nursemaid to this perp.

On the flip side, there won't be any speeding accidents today.

There was alread a shooting on another freeway that CHP couldnt respond to...I bet there are other medical emergencies caused by this PC crap

So many police resources beyond the camera view are tied up in instances like this. I can't even imagine how many police roadblocks they've set up along I-10 and some of the side streets just to keep I-10 wide open for this standoff.

Cause that's the one Rush Limbaugh posted (remember the bedroom-eyes scandal) and then apologized for. I put it up and said "I'll never apologize!"

I don't know if the poster was serious, but up above, the suspect wanted peanut M&M's, but they gave him plain, so he threw the bag out. Lol, who knows. Big ol' Sheriff helicopter sitting in the middle of the freeway.

Of course the phone could have gone dead, or he is sick of talking. I'll bet that crackpot is still trying to find a way to escape :/

LOS ANGELES (AP) A suspected foiled kidnapper led California Highway Patrol officers on a 3-hour freeway chase that ended with a gunpoint standoff after the CHP nudged the fleeing minivan and sent it spinning into a soundwall.

Armored Los Angeles County sheriff's vehicles boxed the stalled van on a freeway east of downtown Los Angeles after a pursuit that began in the Thousand Oaks area of neighboring Ventura County, authorities said.

After more than 30 minutes, however, the driver had not left the minivan. About a dozen SWAT members stood by as a negotiator tried to talk to the driver, who authorities said was armed with at least one handgun.

Traffic on busy Interstate 10 was backed up for miles in both directions.

The chase began at about 8:45 a.m. after a man posing as a delivery courier tried to kidnap a woman in the wealthy Lake Sherwood area, Ventura County sheriff's spokesman Eric Nishimoto said.

He met the unidentified woman on the porch, produced a handgun and a ransom note for money and "demanded that she go with him," Nishimoto said.

As they were leaving, however, the woman mouthed to a watching neighbor to call 911, Nishimoto said.

Then "she turned and ran back into the house and he took off," Nishimoto said.

It was unclear whether he knew the woman, Nishimoto said.

A short time later, sheriff's deputies spotted the minivan and chased it onto a freeway. CHP officers tracked it through two counties at speeds ranging from 35 mph to 70 mph, depending on traffic, CHP Officer Tomiekia Johnson said.

At one point, officers laid down a spike strip that blew out the van's rear tires but the van continued to drive on its rims. A CHP car bumped the vehicle three times, causing it to spin out of control briefly and at one point it appeared to nearly hit a road crew truck on the shoulder of an offramp, but the driver recovered and sped back onto the freeway.

The third time, however, the van spun completely around and struck a soundwall, jarring the bumper loose and coming to a halt.

"We're at a standoff with the suspect," who was believed to still be carrying the handgun, Johnson said.

Drunk. Check.
Driving. Check.

You forgot the part about singing (wailing?) off-key to an obnoxious mariachi band.

Police chases are fun to watch. They'll interrupt a soap opera for police drama.
