Taxi drivers of Reddit, have anyone actualy jumped into your taxi and screamed "Follow that car!!"? If Yes, what happened?

Let's preface this by saying I'm a cop.

we had reports of man running around with a baseball helmet on with a bat attacking civilians, we were searching the reported area on foot when this early twenties guy pulls up next to me and says he saw a guy with a baseball bat running around, so I get in his car and tell him to follow where he though he went, it only lasted a couple minutes than I got out and started a foot persuit. I chase him into an alley way and then 3 other cops come from the other side and we cuff him. He got charged with assault with a deadly weapon, public intoxication and a slew of other things. Never saw that driver again though.
