> this is some weird conservative talking point and isn't true. here's a news article showing SPD chasing a stolen car just months ago:
The poster you responded to was correct until June 2024 and you're correct after June 2024, here are the details (I live in Seattle):
Law passed in 2021 restricted chases to people suspected of:
1-Violent offense
2-Sex offense
3-Domestic violence assault
4-Vehicular assault
5-DUI
6-Escape from prison/jail
That law was rolled back in June of 2024 to allow pursuit if there is reasonable suspicion of violating the law.
The link you provided is from Sep 2024, after the law changed.
- 93po 2y agoSure, that's fair. To be clear that's a Washington state law, not a Seattle thing.
