Florida police pursuit

This ends like something from 'The Dukes of Hazzard' tv series.

Alachua County Sheriff's Office (Gainesville, Florida) staff chasing a vehicle that refuses to stop.

Thanks for that. Was very exciting, glad noone was hurt though. They don't muck around in America. If you like to follow the U.S cops you can download them from the net using torrents either TPB or KAT. LivePD is the name. TVNZ use to broadcast the program but canned it for some reason. I think it stopped when that 'black lives matter' stuff was going on.

Looks like those Fords had trouble keeping up with the Burban at Times. (Shots fired hahahaha)

It's a PITty our cops aren't allowed to do that.

That was today. We won't know how many years jail he gets yet.
Did they cut out the truncheons at the end?

Of course criminals in NZ know to simply put their foot down and the Police will let them go.

On balance if it's only a traffic violation better that they get away than crash.

that is similar to saying "murder is only very serious assault"

No it's not. Your analogy doesn't work.

Real life 'The Fast and the Furious' Los Angeles 2021

Who would let a 17yo drive a US$200K + Lambo suv? & crash it?

Poor woman and family/friends. That is incredibly sad. Your right - he shouldn't have been in it and speeding ;-(

IF and I say IF the cop knows 100% it’s ‘only’ a traffic violation you would be right - but how does the cop know if they’re drunk or is wanted because they’ve just committed a violent robbery etc if he doesn’t stop the driver?

They are allowed to and are trained for it.

But realistically they did not achieve much in the video. Just staying back at a safe distance and wait for them to screw up or run out of fuel would have achieved a less risky result.

I'd argue, (as most would) it's preferable that they crash!
