I’m a fool to continue posting on a thread like this.
The phrase “Pearls before swine” comes to mind.
I’m buoyed by the knowledge that the intellectually intact can see my logic. Bye.
There is just no easy way to elevate IQ....sigh...

Also your logic is not solid. Obviously there are many folks who drink and drive and get to their destination. To assume they are safe is silly. There are many hit and runs that leave damage to others property (if not their life). Allowing the drunk to drive is like leaving a bomb a=on the road that set is set to go off-— you just don’t know when.
Now maybe where you live and work there aren’t that many drunks that drive. In So Cal there are not only a lot of them but a lot of them have no license (either illegal or previous DUIs). Every community debates the chase response and comes to what is best for them. In this part of southern California high speed chases are a daily ‘sport” (mores the shame)
I am sympathetic to you and all other officers of the law who have to operate under rules that can get you killed. My hats off to you for your service.

MADD = sad.
Employ common sense my FRiend.
Your heart is right, your logic is flawed.
You are capable of better than this, you are on Free Republic after all, that is a very good point in favor of your continued improvement.

I strongly suspect that the percentage of those killed in high speed chases is much, much greater than the percentage of those killed in alcohol related driving divided by the number of incidents of drunk driving.
I came home in a big city a 1:00am Friday (not drinking) and from the in-lane weaving & delayed reaction times I saw, at least 50% of the other drivers were DUI.

A Taco Truck is a Roach Coach that serves mexican food. One of the best burritos I have ever had was off a taco truck.
And “Roach Coach” is not a bad thing...it’s a nickname.

Funny... in Fl we have barbecue roach coaches on every corner.. $5.00 on weds for ribs, mac and I cheese, and potato salad... who said people need to be on welfare. They make more than I...
To: Tigerized; Bobalu
Letting them successfully flee only postpones the carnage until later. Better to stop them immediately.If they decide to rabbit, then all consequences land on them, NOT the agency attempting the stop.
Horse hockey. The paramilitaries could have sent a SWAT team to her house, and shot her dog, if it would have made them feel more manly.
That way we wouldn't have two dead innocent bystanders. If they had her info, it's THEIR fault.

Many on here might not like this but this is one good reason for the coming aerial drones in police work. No need for pursuits. Drone monitors and updates from above and suspect can be taken into custody without a major incident. Yeah, Heinrich Müller would have creamed himself to have had aerial drone capability...

I would have run the plates and had someone waiting at her home for her to drive up and park (thus avoiding a chase)....but Im not a cop so what do I know. I swear that some of the Law & Order FReepers who watched Clinton and Sandy Berger and Charlie Rangel and Jon Corzine walk would love to have a one-to-one law enforcement ratio.
A Free Republic is not about having a cop on every corner.

You conclusion of certainty that two folks would still be alive had no pursuit occurred is flawed logic. Assuming the converse is flawed logic.
The woman driver just got introduced to The Big Money-Sucking Legal Machine.

Moron. All the drone does is watch. The driver still kills someone I suspect that Molon knows that of which he speaks.

Moron? FU pal. I have been in those pursuits and they almost ALWAYS end in a MVA if pursuing officers keep after them. The chuckleheads keep fleeing even when you call them off early because they are just getting too hairy. Or even when they have hit the stop sticks and are running on rims. Yes, I've seen you post on these matters before, which is why I called Nif on it.

Yeah, but I had an uncle killed by a drunk driver. How do you know your uncle didnt cause many accidents on the way home, or hurt or kill someone and then miraculously got home safely? Dude, don't use DUmpster logic (The Art of The Tear-Jerking Anecdote).

I believe all police should be armed with a Panzerfaust and if people run, they fire it and blow the car and driver to smithereens! It would save lives in the long run.Panzerfaust traffic stops FTW!!!

“Even with two counts of vehicular homicide I doubt the death penalty is legal in California.”
Drunk drivers have been charged with murder in California.
The death penalty is legal in California.
Google is useful, when in doubt instead of just guessing.
To: Nifster; Bobalu
Nif, your posts are getting more worthless as the thread progresses. Molon is the LEO. I’m pretty sure Bobalu is not (he has fame of other sorts here on FR. Yeah, some of us remember, Bobalu).
