“It was a Sunday. There were kids in the park.”
Illegally riding his motorbike in Darlington, Karl Burnside reached speeds of 80mph when he sped away from police motorcycle officers.
During a lengthy pursuit, the 20-year-old ran red lights, rode on the wrong side of the road, and entered a public park filled with unsuspecting pedestrians.
But due in part to this TEXTBOOK stinger deployment, Burnside was brought to a halt shortly after.

Well done dude. Good hidden location and perfect timing.
What a fkn chad
Bullseye what a top sting
I don’t know why they bother, everyone knows the court’s always give them a slap on the wrist. Turkeys don’t vote for Christmas and judges don’t put their best customers away, the system is corrupted.
Is it safe to use a stinger on a motorcycle with only one steering tyre?
No
Damn, I was hoping he was gonna shove a metal pole in the front spokes!! 😂
Beautiful
Not sure about the hard cover for the deploying officer 🤔
2 flat tyres, he's heading for the nearest sand dune.
That is some grade-A timing. Did not know they used the stinger on bikes!
Hey, I wanna see the rest.
He used the wrong technique… the stinger is supposed to hit the helmet, removing the visor and finally making the rider unable to ride faster as the wind makes the eyes a bit teary.
And well the hit in the helmet and knocking him off….
I have to say that action looked rather reckless to me. There were pedestrians on the far pavement , had that speeding bike lost control they could easily have become innocent victims . Whilst I appreciate the police position in this chase that might not have been the time or place to operate a stinger.
A work of art
'Off roud.' He had off road rims.
13 seconds from arrival to stinger deployed is incredible.
Another toe rag who’s learnt the hard way. Probably won’t be a massive contributor to our society going forward.
Well timed deployment, but where's his gloves?!!
Propaganda
Well done Officers. Thanks for your service and making neighbourhood safer.
Durham Police motorcyclists are right out of the top drawer
Have you seen Ben 1969 with the MET they have a stinger that comes out with the touch of a button 👍
Nice job.
Whats the officers name?? That deployment was 🔥
Nope. No hard cover. 😅
Imagine how mean his tweet was for them to respond like that.
Perfect
Now could you please be as effective on grooming gangs.
He could of been faster reeling it in 😊
