I'm just wondering how many more people have to die before law enforcement
agencies decide to handle chaces in a different manner....

But, atlanta PD, does have a policy against high speed chases.. there was a chase through downtown atlanta last year and they made a new chase policy or something.
I knew this girl personally. The driver was a good rider, just apparently made some dumb decisions that night that cost his and her life.

Ok, so there are some that believe that chase laws should be amended to stop ALL chases. Then there are those that believe the police should chase at all times. Furthermore there are those that think that police should use discretion when confronted with a chase. Here's my take. Yes, chases are very dangerous. They not only put those involved in extreme dangerm, but also put innocent bystanders in danger. Chases most always end bad for somebody, but more often than not the bad happens to the one being chased. Now, if police were told that they could not chase at all we would have far more law breakers simply take off anytime they saw the blue lights behind them. That could end badly too. The person who took off may be drunk and end up killing someone in a horrible accident unrelated to a chase, or the person who was not chased could have been a murderer or child abducter who just killed your family member or kidnapped your baby. As long as there are cars and bikes on the road with free willed people driving them there will always be people running from the law. As long as government continues to try to uphold the law that keeps the majority of the population safe there will be chases. So what is the solution???
One crazy idea.....put cops on GSX-R's specially trained to chase other bikes. Let the squad car show up later to haul the perp away. I think the thought process might change for a rider who knows he is being pursued by a vehicle that will match him tick for tick.![]()

I believe that would only cause more accidents. I believe more experienced riders would consider this a challenge and set the bar higher. Most stunt riders and street racers are in this scene for a rush in case most have forgotten.Originally Posted by DJ Maestro
I do agree that law enforcement should use better judgement, but I also believe that they should be allowed to chase when they decide it is needed.

Yessir. I feel nothing for the driver of the bike. It sucks that the passenger had to die at the stupidity of the driver. I would only feel any sympathy towards the passenger, the passenger's family and the driver's family. I wouldn't be surprised if the passenger's family didn't turn around and sue the driver's family in a wrongful death lawsuit. And I think they should. Later, QD.Originally Posted by JITB
