Quote: Police also learn to avoid using the PIT with certain types of vehicles, such as SUVs or large passenger vans. Vehicles with a high center of gravity easily roll when hit from behind.
Officers in Georgia last week followed neither of the above. State troopers on Interstate 95 attempted to PIT a Nissan Pathfinder on Aug. 17 at speeds in excess of 110 miles per hour. Two people in the SUV died.
Quote: Originally developed by the Fairfax County, Virginia, Police Department, the PIT maneuver is taught as a low speed (less than 35 mph), precision technique, requiring a clear location and careful timing.
Quote: Calling off a police chase doesn't necessarily mean a suspect is going to get away.
Quote: Just because one officer abandons a chase doesn't mean another won't be on the lookout just down the road or knocking on a suspect's door a few hours later. But Tanner said the dangers of chases are too great to pursue suspects who may be wanted for minor crimes.
Can you honestly sit there and continue to tell me that Im wrong?
The relevance of Jasper county: Jasper co. was the next county the chase was going into. The chase ended less then 1/2 mile from the county line. The reason the PIT maneuver was performed when it was, is they couldnt do it in jasper county, which was the reason for the quote.
The officers actions were not the first/best choice that should've been made. The suv originally did nothing more than 11 over the speed limit, as far as the cops are concerned. To continue a chase across state lines, let alone 60 miles, for a speeding ticket... stupid (For both parties involved). MINOR OFFENSE. Them chasing the suv for over 60 miles, escalated the situation, and from then on, the suv did nothing more than what the cop was doing. The foundation of your arguement is null.
And just because I dont have a high post count, or everybody else is telling me Im wrong. Doesnt mean I am. I have given everything asked for. Proof and facts that reinforce my statements. And to tell me that Im still wrong? What the hell else do you want? I cannot believe the ignorance of these people. Im simply amazed that anybody even bothered to reply to my quotes. They flat out prove that you're all wrong. And by your replys, after the quotes, about one or two setences that may/may not be just, Further proves my point that you're wrong. You see that you're wrong, and you have to find the one sentence in the entire post that COULD have relevence to your arguement, if you wish to maniuplate it.
Idiot with big words? HA. I have never seen such stupidity, ignorance, insanity, illogicality, absurdity, irrationality, double talk, & balderdash, in my life.
The best part is, I knew I was right. And you told me, "NO, wrong, you have nothing to back that up". So I get FACTS To reinforce my statements. Further proving that Im right. So now I know that Im right, with facts to amalgamate with my arguement.
Keep going, you're making me feel better with every post. Thank you.
Only problem is, some of your facts are made up. Fact: the chase at times reached 100 MPH, but in the quote above it states that the PIT was performed at 110. That is not established fact. Certainly, it was not performed at 35 or less, but watching the video, I highly doubt it was done at 110 either. Fact is, the chase was not at nor did it exceed 100 MPH during its entirety.
Further, there was never any proof that officers decided to use the PIT in that location because the next county would not allow it. State Police typically have superior authority to any county agency, and therefore the policies of the county would not apply to the GSP anyway, so your arguement is without basis.
And remember folks, arch has already told us what his true motivation is here. He enjoys running from police for the pure adreneline rush. Thereby, he has demonstrated his immaturity and inability to grasp why the driver had a duty to stop for law enforcement. He simply wishes for a world where he can mash the gas pedal, to hell with the consequences, and get his thrills any time he so pleases. It pisses him off every time someone doesn't get away, because next time that could be him. He is one of those you see rubbernecking at accidents, causing traffic backups, and flocking to chases, adding even more danger to the situation, all while pointing the finger at police for "making the poor, innocent, motorist run". Bad cop, no doughnut, eh? lol.
