You're missing the point. NO officer IN THE WORLD will back off pursuit of a suspect just because they start to endanger lives. If that ever happens it's suddenly no longer a minor speeding offense! You're also missing the point that people don't just run from the police for no reason. If you're evading to this extent, you've got something to hide. These points are crystal clear to me. What planet are you on?

If it was any other way then people would run from the cops all the time.

I'm starting to think you're just arguing for the sake of arguing. This isn't about a point of view anymore. Reality check!



Shotwell,

I would like 2 say I agree with you and I believe what the cop did was the only option. The only thing that makes me have a second thought on what happened is what I found in this link on Georgia's Gov web sight. As I have stated before, I think the cop did what was right, I would have been very upset had that driver killed a family memeber.

Officers proceed with due regard to other vehicles. It is understood that the officer's ability to supervise or control other motorists is limited by the nature of existing circumstances, and it is their duty to avoid contributing to the danger already created by the violating motorist.

To avoid being arrested, some violators will take unnecessary risks. The pursuing officer shall not duplicate these hazards regardless of the extenuating circumstances.




Now I am not claiming to completely understand Georgia's policies. Maybe I am reading them worng and someone can correct me. If I am correctly me nicly please.

Just a Plain SE. AKA Big Country I maybe path914's B**** now, but wait until he needs his clutch done. We will see WHO is WHO's B**** then!
