Swedish law edit

My english is not good enough to add this to the article, so may somebody could be so kind and translate this into readable english:

The point of the GIS movies is the getting away from the police. Swedish traffic laws does not allow judges to convict traffic violators, that were not arrested on the spot, by testimony of a witness, even police.

Police is not allowed to shoot or ram somebody for speeding, so chances are big, that if your car is faster, you can get away without being harmed. (IIRC one GIS team was caught...)

Everything AFAIK, IANAL. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.253.120.79 (talkcontribs)

Well, it's a judgement call. Generally even car chases are discouraged since that may increase the risk of people getting injured or killed. Shooting and ramming for speeding may be seen as excessive, but perhaps for reckless driving. Anyway it needs sources. // Liftarn


The creators of the GIS series claim that in the second movie one police car tried to ram them when they crossed ways later in the movie.. in the video you can see part the alleged maneover — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.9.165.87 (talk) 12:43, 27 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

C'était un rendez-vous? edit

They seem reminiscent of C'était un rendez-vous... does anybody know if there's any explicitely stated inspiration there? Also, does anybody know if Getaway enhanced the engine audio after shooting, as was done in C'était? --0x845FED 02:34, 11 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
