How is it not the motorcyclist’s fault? He voluntarily chose to get into a chase with them instead of obeying traffic laws.

- jrflowers 5mo agoHigh speed pursuits are a severe public safety hazard at best and extrajudicial murder at worst. The municipalities that ban them do so under the notion that given a choice between not chasing someone and risking the lives of every passenger in the car, other motorists, the police, and pedestrians, not chasing them makes more sense legally. An officer seeing what they believe to be a busted tail light does not actually constitute sufficient cause to execute a pedestrian crossing the street eleven blocks away.
