On October 24, 2018 while on routine patrol of US-285, New Mexico State Trooper Todd Sibley clocked a black sedan in the southbound lanes of travel hauling it at 131 miles per hour. Already blasting “Youth Gone Wild†by Skid Row, Sibley pulled a sharp U-turn and gunned it in pursuit of the black four-door.
You’ll have to watch the video to see what comes next, but those of you who are Real World Police regulars may recall that in New Mexico, anything 36 mph over the speed limit – or faster – gets you at most a $257 ticket.
I suspect that many would consider this 131-in-a-70 adventure to be $257 well-spent.

Here in Texas, state troopers would call for backup and have the whole DPS office on you…they dont play
What's with the audio quality? Sounds horrible. Tinny and lots of buzzing when not driving.
Should’ve floored it, cop car is not gonna catch that.
Would of been cooler if it was a faster car and he was going 240 plus
$257 ticket is cheap! Some states the driver would’ve been arrested. But it seems irresponsible for the state police to pursue him at such high speeds. Radio ahead & if that doesn’t work; then the guy gets lucky. Pursuing at the speed is extremely dangerous!
Damn, how lucky he was!!!! Cant believe he didn't get put in bracelets
In North Carolina they would’ve taken your license on the spot, they did that to my brother for going 30 over. The thing is though, NC’s highways have so many guardrails and barriers that there’s not many places for cops to hide.
Cool cop
Often times you come across idiots suggesting that cops can only “break traffic laws†when they have their lights and sirens on†and “people should be allowed to drive on the left lane without passing as long as they are driving the speed limitâ€. This is how to demonstrate BOTH are wrong. (1) the cops can’t signal that slow moving vehicle in the passing lane to get out of the way by lighting his “emergency lights†on because that may prematurely let the car he really is trying to pursuit a few miles down that there is cop behind him; (2) which is mentioned from the point before, while trying to catch up at 131 miles, there is no way for the cops to know if he light up while still a few miles behind, is going to create a HSP situation by pushing the other car to go even faster trying to get away or even just black out while doing it, making the situation even more dangerous.
sound pretty lenient compared to illinois. Dont be caught doing 40 over yet alone 61 like you. https://www.criminallawyerillinois.com/2010/02/20/i-got-pulled-over-going-40-mph-over-the-speed-limit-is-this-ticket-serious/
I can't even imagine the accident that this guy would have caused at that speed. I know the ticket was about $300, but I hope his insurance murders his rates for the next several years. I get the thrill for speed, but come on…that's reckless. Or do it at 3:30 in the morning when the roads are empty.
Lmao I got a Jaguar ad for this video!!!
the soundtrack for this chase is provided by : Skid row ' youth gone wild" XD
Damn if you was in desoto county going that fast on the interstate you would’ve wished you gotta ticket you would’ve been drug from the car and had the shit beat outta you and the arrested and charged with felony
Needs heavy metal in the background…
Officer's cruising at 131 mph listening to Skid Rows "Youth Gone Wild". Plus he was real cool about the whole thing. You couldn't asked to get pulled over by a better cop.
That is crazy
Ir you did that speed here you are going to jail no matter what
Hahaha. My mercedes or my modded rx8 would eat that thing alive
What, no points?
130 whistling along to skid row. My hero
I am sorry 131 to catch up is not doing 131 or he would have only maintain a distance between, know if I saw gumballs going that fast, stepped on it and see how fast it would go ,. I have a stock camaro and I know it does 190. Know even at 100 normal streets are extremely dangerous, so I would never do that. But I am glade to see that all parties where calm for around me someone would be shot.
I appreciate the heads on when audio kicks in, and the quality of the microphone audio. Thumbs up
Do you know why I pulled you over? Yeah, because I let you.
Nice officer
Those speeds did NOT look correct…but I admit I cannot prove that, its just my first impression…
Jaguar caught wind of this. They lost the authorized dealership, he's now selling used yugos & ford pintos
I hear skid row playing Youth Gone Wild through a Campbell soup can and string.
What a pissant….could have.killed someone
Where I’m from this would get you a trip to the hospital, and resisting arrest, assault on a police officer, license revoked for a year, a ticket of about 5000.00
I used to drive that route in a 18 wheeler out of Artesia, N.M. about every other day and boy it is long (186 Miles) very little curves and nothing for miles and miles except Roswell, and very boring.
I think the officer was just a little bit too nice to that person if you were doing that here in California they probably would throw you in jail possibly
That's the way all human should Act constitution humans
Any 20 miles over in Illinois will get you arrested and charged with misdemeanor….
That guy should have his license suspended.
Strange laws in the US. In Canada that’s an impounded car and thousands in fines.
No fines, just get these morons off the road permanently.
