Well, if the police were running on water and I were on the water in a boat I'd think that I'd outrun them, wouldn't you?!

They have tried, but they have never succeded. lets face it, being on a body of water, especially a lake or river, is not the ideal location to hide. you can only go so far, each direction, and run into more land. Waterways are so open, a boat can easily be spotted from other boats or from the air. You may have observed a water chase in a movie, involving boats. just remember, it was made in hollywood for one reason, to sell tickets. in reality, making a getaway is more successful on a bus, rather than on water.

The police only had cars, so he won and got away quite easily! An example of him taking over:
