technically, that seal broke all kinds of laws. Even cops aren’t allowed to chase in some cases.

Maybe so, but I don’t blame him in the least.

Dunno about you, but I wouldn’t find him guilty of anything.

Unfortunately this is probably far from over. The LEO’s would have submitted a full report to the prosecutors office for a charging decision.

I was a cop for 30 years, ret detective Sergeant.. and after being satisfied that I could articulate that the SEAL was no longer a threat to anyone, I would not have taken this man into custody, nor treated him like a suspect in any way, nor issued any citations. And, I would have done anything legally possible to prevent any future charging. Heck, I might have failed to advise him of his right and screwed the case up right then and there. ;>)

As a citizen, I would have done everything I could have to kill those worthless bastards, it would have been in self defense while I was in fear of my life.

Relax, I have been retired for over 7 years.... ;>)

Technically, you’re correct.

Jury trial if charged with anything.

Not guilty.

Unanimous verdict.

‘technically, that seal broke all kinds of laws. Even cops aren’t allowed to chase in some cases.’

Ummm, thats simply false, with the exception of speed violations.

Civilians don’t operate under the constraints of LEO’s. See bounty hunters for a great example.
