After the jump you'll find dash-cam footage provided by Dallas County constables from the June 29 car chase through Dallas, Richardson and Garland, during which Shane Michel captivated a nation for a good 90 minutes. KDFW-Channel 4 got hold of the video and ran some highlights; one can only imagine how the entire thing plays out -- like a Jason Statham movie, no doubt, without all the mumbled dialogue.
