I wonder if the unmarked driver will get some heat for running into his own compadre?

From the video it looks the perp didn't have much of a chance to get away anyway even without getting smacked--

Looked like the driver was trying to slow or stop but misjudged the distance. Must be a new guy... old skool cops could do the bumper tap with their eyes closed!

I'm thinking he was probably driving like a rocket and by the time he got there, his brakes were faded...I know there's been a couple of times, the only thing that stopped me was the molten brake dust....but yeah the bumper tap is a aquired skill forsure!
