They're lucky to have survived.

 

Here's the link to the local paper story on this.

In many places now the Police are not allowed to give chase at high speeds due to the high rate of accidents with Police Officers as well as suspects depending on the violation.Not to mention bystanders that may be killed to simply give someone a ticket. In this case a simple traffic violation should not have ended like this. I am sure if this so called Police Officer was in chase of someone with a simple traffic violation and would have lost control and hit and killed you or your loved ones for that matter anyone you may feel a bit different. Also from dealings that I have had with the average Police Officer both in the form of capabilities and training do not have the ability to drive aggressively without putting others and themselves at great risk. There are very few at least around here that have the capabilities to do so but it is still a gamble. Not only with other traffic or weather but also mechanical failure of a vehicle.

So lets see okay they should give chase to the point of killing people. The headlines could read but would not include a few details. THREE DIED TODAY WHILE AN OFFICER GAVE CHASE TO GIVE A NONE COMPLIANCE INSPECTION STICKER VIOLATION. But the Officer did live but will never walk again and will have to remain on a colostomy bag for the rest of his life but he did get the fine for the ticket as well as evasion to arrest for the corpses.

Next one. CITY SUED FOR WRONGFUL DEATH AS WELL AS POLICE OFFICER THAT GAVE CHASE.

And the city will have to pay for said Police Officer for the rest of his life to support his family. And fix and pay to repair everything that was destroyed during the chase. Is all this worth the price of a simple ticket.

The lives of people and hard earned property mean a bit more to me than the revenue that may be generated by a ticket.

Ok what the heck I will give just one maneuver that I helped the local Police Driving Instructor with for instruction as he never heard of it as well as others. The people that know this one have been there and done that and will not talk about it lol.

In all training for most people since drivers ed people were told that if the back of your car starts to come around steer into the slide and this can work depending on how fast you are going. At times you can go to the point that no matter how aggressively you steer into the turn the car will either keep going sideways till it hits and object or stops or slowly spin around uncontrolled. So lets say you are in a turn a bit too fast and your back end comes out and you know there is no way to correct the turn with a simple counter steer then what you would do is steer into the turn and bring the back end around with control till you are backwards with the street you are going down or the direction you wish to take. Then you simply swing the front end back around the right direction and keep going. It sounds a bit more simple that what it is but then again it is not hard but one does have to have a knack for such things and the nerve to commit and follow through.

 

It looks like the car on the tow truck is not the one from the crash.
File Picture?

 

I see both sides: giving chase or not. Each circumstance is weighed in micro-seconds by law enforcement. Since I wasn't there and not privvy to local law enforcement procedures, I'm not convinced the cop did anything wrong.
Hate to see innocents get hurt. Hate to see criminals get away to continue their ways too.

That guy made lots of bad decisions during his run (maybe before, also?). Poor car. It adds to an image I'd rather not promote if some folks want to associate fast cars [not just Vettes] with bad drivers.

Besides, i've had the crappiest luck outrunning cop radios! LOL.

 

It's not Vette. The car in the photo is from another crash on the same road.

 

..............Or maybe not.............maybe along for an inside the car "POLE RIDE" & didnt want to get caught.............ya never know.
41yr old / 25 yr old passenger.......... things that make ya go ......
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.............

 

I agree that no one's life is worth a speeding ticket, but when this guy started running from the law, it was clear he was going to get more than a ticket. Also, catching someone running from the law might actually save lives.

 

That is why the Radio can be a huge asset to the police. An officer tries to stop a car but they decide to run at a high speed then the officer simply backs off and takes the pressure off of the person they are chasing thus they will slow down. While following at a distance that they can still observe the direction of said vehicle all they would have to do is radio it in with the description and license number of the vehicle to get other officers to trap said vehicle or catch them when they stop.

 

 

 

CHECK out the squad video-up to when the cop loses it.Unfortunatly if he hasn't learned by age 42 he probably never will!

 

I'm kinda w/ you on that one. An overzealous cop chasing someone for a traffic infraction can be just as dangerous as the car running from them. If he has the plate # then he has them caught eventually, especially if he can identify the driver.
If it was serious like a kidnapping in progress then I could see not backing off, or stolen car.

My older brother about 10 years ago was in S. Carolina and his gf just ended their relationship w/ him. He was racing back to N.Y. pissed off in his 78 vette doing 80 mph about 1 a.m. when he passes 3 cops shooting the bull at a closed ice cream shop. He said they took off after him and he went up and over a small bridge and pulls over.
He said a few seconds later the first cop flies over the bridge, see's him and slams on the brakes, second cop came up and over, smashed into the first cop, then the third cop did the same thing hitting the first two cop cars He didn't think after that he was leaving there alive He got his ticket and was on his way. I think these no chase laws are a good idea in some circumstances.

From the sound of the injuries seems this guy and girl learned the hard way not to run, esp. on a gravel road

 

I agree there jds68stang if the person they are chasing committed a serious crime then by all means they should be apprehended swiftly. But I sure do wish that also applied to white collar crimes. Talk about slowwwwwwwwwwwww

 

 

If he was running form the cops he either really wanted to show off (dumbass) or did something that was worth almost dieing for rather than getting pulled over, (drugs?) whatever it was I WISH PEOPLE THAT ARE DOING THAT CRAP WOULDNT DRIVE A VETTE!

 

with todays tech NO one ever gets away!! You cant out run a radio!!
its law in some states not to give chase but to just radio ahead to other officers to set road blocks or spike strips etc..

 

Holy ****...they were chewing up some white lines in a hurry!!!!!

Seems to me like there were a pair of dumba$$es that night!!!!!
