If I were king, I would make high speed chases illegal unless the person was suspected of a violent felony.

Dude was driving 100+ mph into oncoming traffic, cops should have got beside him and opened fire on his arse.

A few things. The pit came after the driver went head on into traffic and the supervisor ordered the pursing vehicle to stop asap.


I don't get why police cars don't have one of two things.
A projectile which shoots a device that shorts out a cars computer.

Or a projectile with a GPS tracker in it.

They had that on a Live PD episode one time. I think it was Lawrenceville, GA SD that had it installed in their grills.

Yeah....because he was going to slow down to tHe speed limit if they stopped chasing him.


Less likely he would die along with your officer and any innocent pedestrian he ran over

Thomas Sowell on car chases

If the policy was to shoot every driver that flees from a helicopter, it would only have to be shown a few times on the news before most of these idiots decided not to run. Would love to see it.

This is stupid. It's simple. Cop gets behind him, grabs plate number and backs off. Call in the chopper to follow him. Apprehend him alive when he gets out the vehicle. High speed chases are for morons. It never ends up well. Cop should lose his life over it as well as the one he's chasing.

That is the dumbest thing I have ever read. Criminals always leave the correct plates on vehicles and never swap them. Also I forgot where you live there must be a bunch of police helicopters flying around at all times just for this case.

Not at those speeds, he was practically making gas.

I'd go back thru the footage and ticket every a-hole in the left lane. Especially the dumbass red truck and the Prius.

By that logic, every criminal suspect will eventually die of old age.

Its really funny when a lot of people who have no idea wtf they are talking about, nor have ever done anything like what officers face daily, tell everyone how it should have been done. Lmao. Its a microcosm of society as a whole. Its like whatever shitty as job yall have, i go in there and tell you how it should be done and dont know a got damn thing on what your doing or why. MAKES ABSOLUTE SENSE RIGHT.

At the point where the idiot is endangering others lives with his driving he needs to be taken out. They should have shot out hit tires or used rumble strip on the interstate and ended it earlier.
