They are even unofficially sanctioned by the NYPD. They can go through lights, fire lanes even on sidewaks![/QUOTE yeah "unofficially" here in Phila too, I have had to unofficially f*ck up a chaser or two, been times when one of my customers were in an accident and called me to pick up their car so when I get there some knucklehead chaser told me he was there first, as you can imagine I was quite amused by this, for a minute then I wrapped a J hook around his neck and asked him if he still thought he was first, they are pretty aggresive here in philly, turf wars and all, same in NY?
