Moron. All the drone does is watch. The driver still kills someone

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.

My agency was in one recently that lasted over an hour, went into a neighboring state and then went into oncoming traffic on the interstate crossing the Mississippi.

Our best successes have been when we had the bird up giving us turn by turn, we lay back a little, the chithead always goes someplace to lay low and then we put the grab on him.

Problem is helos aren’t up 24/7 and they are expensive to run and maintain.

Most agencies don’t allow you to ram unless you have been PIT trained and you can’t very well run up alongside of them and empty a mag at the driver.

I suspect that Molon knows that of which he speaks.
