It takes two to have a chase. I appreciate that they may want to avoid the paparazzi but I doubt that traffic laws allow for high speed flight. -- nm

“This relentless pursuit, lasting over two hours" - so they went around 4 blocks? -- nm - decline May 17, 07:54
While I agree, what do you suggest? They stop and get swarmed? Not sure what the best option is/ -- nm - Andie May 17, 07:52 30
- “People are doing criminal things to me, so I will do criminal things.” How about, “Help, 9-1-1. I’m being assaulted. I’m at…” - Mop🧹 May 17, 08:00 15
  - but they aren't being assaulted. they are just being followed and photographed very aggressively...and dangerously -- nm* - Beaker 🍺 May 17, 08:06 4
    - If *anyone* goes up to a cop and says 'people are chasing me and I am afraid they are going to hurt me' - decline May 17, 08:13 2
      - Are you imagining that they are going to stop, exit the car, walk through the paps, and approach a cop? -- nm - loosilu May 17, 08:15 1
        
        You don't think their driver would have time to yell for a cop at a police station for help before the others show up? The only wrong solution here is -- (edited) - decline May 17, 08:46
    - They're being threatened rfor sure. -- nm - loosilu May 17, 08:08
  - Then why have we never heard of celebrities doing that? -- nm - loosilu May 17, 08:01 8
    - One. -- (link) - Mop🧹 May 17, 08:02 7
      - She is not a celebrity. -- nm - loosilu May 17, 08:04 4
        
        Sure she is. I'd recognize her on the street before I would Meghan Markle -- nm - decline May 17, 08:17 3
        
        that's just cause of your peephole watching and filming -- nm - Beaker 🍺 May 17, 08:22
        
        OK, outing myself as never watching ESPn. -- nm - loosilu May 17, 08:19 1
        
        heh -- nm - decline May 17, 08:20
      - Justin Bieber is two, although hardly the best example as he had already entered into a high speed chase. -- nm - Mop🧹 May 17, 08:03 1
        
        AT which point it's a public hazard. -- nm - loosilu May 17, 08:07
  - especially given that they are famous -- nm - decline May 17, 08:01
- how about stop in front of a police station and ask for help? There are well over 100 in NYC -- nm - decline May 17, 07:55 12
  - and just the pics of them walking into a police station would be worth a fortune to the paps. -- nm - Andie May 17, 07:56 4
    - better than being killed in a 'high speed chase' -- nm - decline May 17, 07:57 1
      - It's America. Give Meghan an MP5 and make her an action movie star to boot. -- nm - Beryllium May 17, 07:58
    - I suspect it would be them stopped in front a police station and getting swarmed while cops ignore them. -- nm - loosilu May 17, 07:57 1
      - yup -- nm - Beaker 🍺 May 17, 07:57
  - I couldn't tell you where to find one. You're making assumptions. -- nm - loosilu May 17, 07:56 6
    - Times Square. -- nm - Mop🧹 May 17, 07:57 5
      - Oh great, so there will be a million tiktoks of them. -- nm - loosilu May 17, 07:58 4
        
        better than being dead -- nm - decline May 17, 07:58 3
        
        Honestly it would never occur to me to go to a police3 station -- nm - loosilu May 17, 07:59 2
        
        loosi, come on, why didnt Diana just go to the police station after all? She could still be alive! - Jovian May 17, 08:04 1
        
        I actually have done this. Had a redneck following me, looking to kill me for nothing so drove up to the doors of a state police post. He drove on by. -- nm - Spawn May 17, 09:19
- Exactly. The paps are NOT nice to them. They're trying to get reaction shots. -- nm - loosilu May 17, 07:53
