Duration: 7:40

This video details two critical evasive driving techniques taught by former CIA officer Jason Hanson: the 'rollout' and the 'car pickup.' The rollout involves an asset exiting a moving vehicle down an embankment while the driver closes the door with a rope and deploys a decoy. The car pickup is a method for discreetly picking up an asset by utilizing brief surveillance blind spots. These techniques are presented as essential spy skills for asset extraction and evasion.

Quick Summary

The 'rollout' is an evasive driving technique where an asset exits a moving vehicle at low speed (around 5 mph) down an embankment. The driver uses a rope to close the door and deploys a 'Jack in the Box' decoy to maintain the illusion of two occupants, crucial for evading surveillance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'rollout' technique in evasive driving?

The 'rollout' is a spy technique where an asset exits a moving vehicle at low speed (around 5 mph) down an embankment or similar feature. The driver then uses a rope to quickly close the door and deploys a decoy to maintain the illusion of two occupants.

How is the 'Jack in the Box' (JIB) used in evasive driving?

The 'Jack in the Box' (JIB) is a decoy device that springs up to resemble a person in the passenger seat. It's used after an asset exits the vehicle during a 'rollout' to make surveillance believe there are still two people inside.

What is a 'car pickup' in the context of evasive driving?

A 'car pickup' is a method for discreetly collecting an asset. The driver utilizes brief surveillance blind spots, created by turns or terrain, to slow down, allow the asset to jump in, and quickly shut the door, all while staying low.

What are the key safety considerations for the 'rollout' technique?

The primary safety concern for the driver during a 'rollout' is to maintain focus on the road and avoid looking at the asset exiting or the rope. The asset must also ensure the exit path is clear of hazards like trees or cacti.
