IMHO it's more about knowing the neighborhood than anything else. I think being on a motorcycle in the city is probably the easiest place to do it, especially in a big city with lots of one ways and weird half-blocked streets and pedestrian only passages that you could blow through, I'm sure you could easily lose the cops. On the highway would be almost impossible because they can Id you and call ahead and you have no way to lose them.

I've never tried to lose a cop in a car but I've done it twice now on a bicycle, once long ago in college and just recently in SF the [censored] popo decided to crack down on all the bikes that breeze through stop signs. Basically if you're on a bike and you're halfway decent at riding, you're retarded to ever stop and get a ticket, it's so easy to outrun a cop and they don't consider you worth really chasing.

BTW my GF just got a ticket in the Muni for not having the fare stub and I was kinda imagining in my head how hard it would be to outrun the cops on foot. I think it would be pretty easy, those guys almost always run slow and are loaded down with gear. They take you off the train and have you just standing there, when they ask for your license or whatever pretend to reach for it and just sprint, no way they catch you. Again knowing the area and where you can disappear to would be the biggest advantage, you wanna be able to get into a crowd and then take an unexpected U or something.
