It appears IPD is on the cusp of changing their policy re: police car chases as the result of the most recent chase that resulted in multiple innocent motorists being injured. On the one hand high speed chases are dangerous for law enforcement, motorists on the roadways, and the person(s) being chased.
On the other hand, implement a non pursuit policy and it would seem the perps will figure if they run they'll simply be allowed to get away. I've heard the argument about ending a high speed chase and issuing a warrant to try to pick the perpetrators up at a later date. Is this really a viable option ?
Ar there any other options ?
