Editing this as the initial news report was incorrect and the video showed the Addis cop was the lead car.

It's been around for a while. I'm seeing roughly $5k per unit plus about $1k/year for ongoing service. Not bad at all IMO.
That will be the hold-up. Let's assume BRPD has to outfit 300 units with this technology, that's a $1.5 million upfront cost plus $300k in annual maintenance. I agree that it's worth it to save one life, but getting police chiefs and sheriffs to stroke that check will be tough.

How do you figure they were in control when they rolled into a different jurisdiction on the other side of the river with one BRPD unit?
How does this indicate they were not in control?

How much were the body cams they stumped for ?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m very glad they got em. I’m just saying, if there’s a new toy or tool they want they seem to find a way to get the money for it.

Numerous coworkers were commenting that she had worked the night shift with them and was just fine. I guess she chugged some right after work.
The whole point though is that she was killed bc of the reckless actions of a cop.
Nah bitch. The whole point is they were both responsible.
She was passed out in the turning lane. He hit her going 90. he got a ticket while this cop in Addis will be charged with negligent homicide. Big Difference.
End of story.

BRPD, probably needs to take some responsibility for this also.
Was it worth putting all these lives at risk to chase someone at that high rate of speed through two other parishes?
Did the person using the vehicle without the other person's permission kill someone or show signs that he was going to kill someone?
They should have called it off before Barney Fife decided to get involved in a chase he should not have been involved in.
Now that the charges are coming in watch the person who owned the vehicle change their mind on pressing charges.

If they last 5 years then the fees equal the initial cost, making it $3m for 5 years or about $600k/year. What's that, payroll for 10 officers? Out of at least 300? It's peanuts next to payroll too.
There's no fixed cost, it scales with the number of units. I think any department no matter how small can fit this in the budget.

It doesn’t. I interpreted his comment to suggest BRPD had authority or command of the chase once it crossed the bridge. Didn’t know if that was a fact or him just talking out of his arse.
Doesn’t seem to me Like BRPD has control of anything. Crime in Baton Rouge is rampant and it’s spilling over into other parishes. When the toilet overflows in NOLA, we’re too far away to notice. But the shite is flowing out of Baton Rouge cause BRPD is absolutely feckless. They’d still be chasing this kid if he hadn’t surrendered when he did.

This cop should be charged with negligent homicide, what a fricking idiot
Posted on 1/2/23 at 7:59 pm to tigerinthebueche
I have refused to comment on this until now. And my heart says this cop should get the book thrown at him. He is directly responsible for the death of these two girls. The guy with the stolen car had nothing to do with these deaths. His actions may have caused it, but he wasn’t intentionally trying to harm them.

Scott Courrege said Louisiana law gives a little more leeway than the national standard.
"Louisiana law allows officers to speed while in pursuit of a suspected violator of the law," Courrege said. "It also allows them to run red lights. The law narrows that down and says they have to slow or stop to allow for safe operation. If that officer did not apply brakes, and was going over 80 miles an hour facing a red light, he would not be in compliance with the statute that allows him to engage in those activities."
The crash happened around noon Saturday, on New Year's Eve. One day later, the West Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office arrested Addis Officer David Cauthron. Cauthron has been with the Addis Police Department for less than a year.
"It's very concerning," Courrege said. "You look at any pursuit situation or any law enforcement action and weigh the government interest compared to the risk to the public. In this situation, there's a lot of unknown facts, but the government interest seems to be way less than the risk to the public as shown by the outcome of this case."
Sources told WBRZ that the GPS inside Cauthron's vehicle showed he was going about 86 miles per hour and did not hit his brakes before impact. Witnesses said Cauthron ran a red light and that the light had been red for about 20 seconds when his police unit reached the intersection.

Negligent homicide is killing another with no intent to cause harm. The person still perished. It'll be a very difficult charge to pin the car "thief" with, especially when there is a deep pocket agency with way more culpability.

Per WAFB, BRPD terminated the pursuit when the TPOS crossed into West Baton Rouge Parish. Guess they didn’t have shite under control till Tyquell’s stolen vehicle stalled back in Baton Rouge.

Wanna know who requires these? The insurance companies. I've heard they even make you answer for super high speeds as a condition to maintain the policy.
The claim will be denied and the Town of Addis has it's arse hanging out.

Hopefully, the families of those girls bankrupt Addis.

That’s absolutely insane. How long has this guy been in law enforcement? What kind of training did he have?
Unfortunately…incidents like this by completely incompetent police officers are only going to get worse given the current situation towards law enforcement in this country. Experienced officers are leaving in droves and nobody worth a damn wants to start a career as a police officer.
Good luck trying to get any criminal to pull over now. They will all know that they can just haul arse and no one will pursue them. Once again, law abiding citizens will lose and justice will be lost. Another BIG step towards anarchy for this area.
