I am pissed off that I watched that video, and they didn't show the damn dash bong.
Came to say the same. I was looking for inspiration!
I was thinking, "any second and they're gonna show that bong". Nope. Very disappointing.
yeah, i can think of a few rigs that are pretty easy to slap together but like, i'm stealing your rims if you want me to do that. and your distributor. fuck driving inebriated, i'll build you a hotbox but not a rolling one.

Two more and he'll get a free ice cream
Inside the truck officers found a “custom bong device built into the dash of the truck so he could comfortably smoke drugs while driving”. Meth, heroin, and fentanyl were also discovered, as well as the stolen items.
The driver of the truck had 97 prior arrests. He is facing charges of DUI, eluding, and possession of narcotics. The passenger was turned over to Centralia PD for organized retail theft.
Goddamn dude
Extremely unresponsible to be driving under the influence of hard drugs. If someone is going to be smoking meth and fentanyl, they should at least have the reason to not be driving.
I mean… it didn’t say he was smoking anything but weed out of the bong… probably but FFS, how about the 99 priors??? How was this asshole even behind the wheel of a vehicle? This stinks of a CI.
The article said there was fentanyl, meth, and heroin. I'd guess that he wasn't just transporting it.
I’m not saying he wasn’t using a bit of himself. I’m just saying a bong is typically used to smoke weed. Given the potency of Fentanyl I doubt he was just casually sprinkling a bit on top for flavor 😝
Did you expect him to walk to the liquor store?
So close to 100! Wonder what the Guinness World Record is?
Woah!
…based based based based based…

Reminds me of a story I heard like 20-30 years ago. Some German dude wrecked his Merc on the autobahn… the cops get there and he just wreaks of schnapps but they find no bottles, no means of consumption. The car gets towed to a police station to be examined and they found that he had diverted the window washing tank into the cabin, dude wants a pug of schnapps and he hits his window washer button.
That is a level of ingenuity that I love to see in people. Application of it is nooot great but he's got the spirit.
Don’t you mean spirits?
But, but, I need a photo of this performance mod...
Here's the video, but sadly it doesn't show the inside of the truck.

pics or it didn’t happen
Dumbass cop was about to pitt maneuver this truck into an innocent car.
Thank god I am not the only one to immediately catch that. What that pig attempted was FUCKING DANGEROUS.
And then another pig on the radio is heard giving clear instructions to not attempt unless below 70(mph). Still with plenty of other vehicles on the roads...
How else you going to live out your badass road warrior fantasies??
Fucken dunce..
Yeah, high speed chases are monumentally stupid. Just use the radio to set up a road block.
Or, as is commonly done elsewhere, get their plates and a photo, and drop by their house later (unless they're an active threat to public safety of course).
This is literally the SOP in a lot of other countries: You don't chase someone in a vehicle unless you absolutely have to. You rather just identify them and apprehend them at a later point.
Haha! You fell into the trap of my nuclear powered hyper bike! I never have to stop! Bwahahaha! Man, I gotta take a dump tho, fr.
You don't have a toilet built into that thing?
"high" speed chase indeed
Why was he let go with so many priors?
Ethical catch and release
What? Is he too small?

A high speed chase, or a high speed chase?
Also: wtf was with the pit maneuver when oncoming traffic was like less than a 100 feet ahead? Dumbass shit.
This whole chase was idiotic. Poor pit maneuver. Chasing suspect through traffic and intersections.
What a great example of why police chases shouldn't be a thing, the cop was more dangerous than Smokey Pete.
Cop tried bumping the truck on a fucking two-lane road with a car coming the opposite way. Holy Cheez-its.
I remember them shooting at a hijacked FedEx truck
It couldn't go fast anyway, had a tracker and was stuck in traffic with cars everywhere.
It was going nowhere.
No negotiating or thinking, the cops just started firing.
They killed everyone in the truck (driver/victim also) and at least 1 (or more if I remember correctly) of the unlucky commuters in the line of fire.
My friend's dad had a kegerator built into his truck. Tap was in the center console.
He's either dead or still driving tow trucks.
What if, hear me out, you confiscated the car at any of the previous 95 stops?
Oh yeah this is America so it will make it impossible for you to live..... You know what, in that scenario dash bong seems totally reasonable.
95 arrests, not 95 stops

@10s did the cop try to pit him off an overpass?
I have been living my whole life wrong.
