He was running a red light you dumb a$$$

7 cars had passed through the green light before fife barreled through. So clearly the criminal and line of BR cop cars had been gone at least for some time
That’s what I figured.

Making blanket policies like no pursuits instead of treating each situation independently is what lazy, unintelligent people propose much like zero tolerance policies imposed by dimwitted school administrators
Failing to understand another's point of view when it has been laid out in plain text and instead acting like you know what they're thinking and getting it wrong is what lazy, unintelligent people do.
But you just go ahead and keep acting like you know every fricking thing and that you always know best.

Coming through Baton Rouge on I 10 yesterday, traffic was backed up on the eastbound side, with 4 or 5 cop cars on the shoulder, having stopped a car by Dalrymple. Coming down Hwy 1, 2 cops with lights, no sirens passed me coming up to the red light in Brusly. One cop cut over at the intersection and continued southbound in the northbound lane. The other cop passed a couple cars by using the shoulder on the left and cut back in at the intersection, continuing southbound in the southbound lanes. Got a little closer and saw about 20-25 cop cars, 3-4 firetrucks, and a few ambulances. Already on scene.
My question is - if all these responders were already on scene, well after the fact, why did these guys feel the need to do these high speed maneuvers amongst all the vehicles going through the intersection and off the service road ?

bullshite. It’s awful that it happened, but the alternative is just letting the criminal go. If we’re gonna go to that mode of thinking, then no murderer, rapist, etc will ever be apprehended again. Shouldn’t give chase for a lesser crime? Then it’ll be open season for thieves, drunk drivers, drug dealers, vandals, etc. Criminals break the law, they need to be caught. Simple as that.
You realize lots of places have no chase laws for lower crimes. Is catching this stolen car suspect worth these two people’s lives?

So what 9rocket saw was both of the aftermath scenes. The cops near Dalrymple were BRPD who had stopped the vehicle that started all of this. The guys on LA1 were responding to the Addis cop who crashed. Chances are they heard their buddy was in a crash and freaked out and hauled arse.

There has been a lot of ignorance written in these past few pages.
There is far too little known yet about this particular wreck BUT consider this. The use of red lights and sirens does not give one the right to blow through any intersection. The use of red lights and sirens is REQUESTING THE RIGHT to proceed through. Failure to give that right may result in a ticket BUT that doesn't give the emergency driver the right to TAKE anything.
I have been trained by state & local authorities. I have read numerous case histories. I have driven fire trucks, ambulances & personal vehicle for more than 25 years.
Note about court histories: While the emergency driver may be found innocent in a criminal court a civil court will almost always side with the civilians. This is even is situations where the emergency vehicle driver would have otherwise been found innocent. In other words the LEO, fire truck driver, or ambulance driver and agency will be on the hook for big bux after an accident.

Where is the guy that was calling anyone a idiot who didn’t blindly support this cop. I wonder what he is saying now that the cop will be charged.

quote:I want to add in another factor on this. Radio frequencies. Each one of these responding agencies uses a different frequency. There are even different frequencies between departments within the agencies. Each one is getting different information and not as timely as the agency with eyes on the situation.

So it is official, THE OT is more bootlicker than the actual PD. That is nuts, this dude deserves to be under the jail.

Not so much of a problem anymore in Louisiana with almost everyone being on the LWIN system now.

The last four or five pages don’t sound like a “boot licker” OT to me.

Surely the technology exists to change a call from emergency to scene under control, and to control responding unit speed. Or better yet, to divert non-needed units to routine patrols.
