Here is just one example: is there any circumstance where it is lawful for you to throw out a spike strip in the road? Because believe it or not, there are circumstances where it is legal for on duty law enforcement to do so.

And I keep saying they are certainly justified since the perp is fleeing and has racked up multiple felonies.

But what they cannot do is radio ahead and have a guy throw spike strips out just because he was on radar a mile back and the cop is still on the shoulder.

And again to the “it looks evident to me” folks. I thought Chauvin was innocent of murder too. Just incompetent. We see how that turned out.
