Looks like Nobis is going to become friends w/Dr.Bob & Bill W and start looking for a "sponser", except this sponser will not be giving him $$ or gear!:confused:

The legend pro is already jumpsuit orange. The nobis edition should have a jail name and inmate id number on it. That would be badass.

it wasn't too clear in that photo, so I zoomed it in for ya.

Excellent point.

..dude can't complain if he he took off running...pretty stupid...

When dealing with the police, it is best to take it in the shorts now- OR you'll be taking it in the shorts later. Ouch.

BTW- we all know about Utah, but who said anything about jail time...is Utah THAT strict?

Running from the cops only works in the movies. Of course, in an inebriated state, with impaired judgment, I can almost see where one might think "I got this." We've all daydreamed about a glorious chase where glorious driving skills prevail, and you end up in the last scene, driving away, fist pumping in glorious success. Cue the Kenny Loggins. Convincing one's self of this is so much easier after many beers.

Just to be clear, this cop car was NOT involved in the apprehension of Mr. Nobis.

Not really. Depends how well they've seen you, how quick you can drive, how well you know the local area and what head start you have.

But if they break out the police helicopter, then just fucking give up.

Stone said, for instance, that Nobis claims not to have reached 50 mph

Well, thank god his lawyer cleared THAT up. :biggrin:

due to liability issues, law enforcement calls off chases more than you think. Plenty of people have been killed by some ignorant cop chasing a guy for having a tail light out. BUT... that's only in the big city...

A bunch of donut eaters in Park City (or Jackson Hole) love those "big city" thrills and would chase their own tails if given the chance...

These small town guys have WAY too much time on their hands.

That said- what Nobis did was stupid!

Or an H2 for that matter. Thanks LB.

I guess it depends on where you are. How many KTLA Breaking News stories have you seen with the chopper following some dude running on foot down alleys and thru backyards. Then maybe they flip on the Forward Looking Infrared Radar and find his heat sig hiding behind a dumpster. When i lived in SoCal this shit was on the news nightly, I guess it was a good deterent for running from cops. However, in Park Meadows it might just be Andy and Barney following a drunk guy.

I saw a RealTV once where a guy on a sport bike was being chased by a Crown Vicky and he was thinking ahead....he led them onto an extremely tight road with tons of 180s and hairpins. He would have been set except for the fact that the douchebag could not corner a motorcycle to save his life. It was laughable as he stood it up around every turn and finally got into the dirt shoulder.

If Nobis really wanted to get away he wouldn't have gone into Park Meadows - 2 exit points including the one he entered. Plus the description of his route was basically going in circles on a very narrow street that right now has become narrower by snowbanks.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Care to put a wager on this? I like the guy and know him from around town and TGR stuff but like it's been said already to most PC folks (read - SLC commuters) he's just another ski bum.

He'll probably get off pretty easy. Utah has been working hard on a more "moderate" image...that won't be helped by slapping aroung some famous ski bum. He's best served by waving the stars and bars- "hey I was a member of the olympic team"

No. I don't know how it will turn out. I'm just curious. I will bet that he gets off on some of the charges as part of a plea. Furthermore, I posted above the punishment for DUI. It's not that bad, and in line with the rest of the country.

I agree he gets off easy.

He won't lose his sponsors, he'll just get new ones at AA.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this one.

Lemme get this straight: Did you say that the suspect "did nothing that didn't warrant excessive force"??!! And you're a PROSECUTOR? WTF?!:eek:

Look, Matlock, I'm pretty scared here: either the force was warranted, in which case is was by definition NOT excessive, or it was NOT warranted, in which case it WAS excessive. There is no such thing as warranted excessive force. I mean, ho-lee-shit! :confused:

By the by, how was the Caribbean during your law school years? Good margaritas, I hope?

If this is the norm, then "the bar" is set pretty f@#*ing low.

instead of the Red Bull helmet, maybe Jagermeister?

Budweiser logo gear instead of North Face? I hear their expediton gear is bomber.

WOW... thats some serious shit! Too bad TGR didnt have a follow cam on that incident. Nobis obviously needs a permanent vacation from the booze. If he completes rehab by the time this goes to court, the judge will give him probation and a hefty fine. If he tries to fight it, the state of utah corrections dept will be his latest sponsor.

I don't think he should go to jail, that's reserved for repeat offenders...

Oh that's right he is a repeat offender...

They say in life...the First Mistake is an error...the Second Mistake is FVCK UP!!!!

JEREMY FVCKED UP!!! That said, I hope it goes well for the poor guy, all this public cheese grater stuff I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

Quit harshin' on ShawnB. I don't know the dude and obviously am friends with Girlski, but I would have written, substantively, the same thing. Girlski obviously didn't re-read what she typed out, cuz ShawnB's critique is right on the money and funny as hell!

Nobis is prolly gonna lose some serious sponsor money, etc... The second and third order effects will likely be more damaging than the conviction and state-assessed penalty. Seems like a fun guy, so I hope he gets his shit together.

Nobis excercised poor judgement, but did so in an undeniably cowboy way, which inherently makes him cooler than any whiny desk chair bitches sitting in judgement sniping and posing among themselves.

Kinda makes you wonder...

I love the attitude about cops, like the cop is always the dumbass.

If you are running from a cop for a tail light out, you have something to hide, plain and simple.

I am full of wonder.

That said, this event seems to be a real waste since there is no video. Some tough times ahead for Nobis. Feel bad for the guy even though he is a serial Copenhagen mooch. Hopefully he comes out of it having gained something positive.
