Yeah, but I had an uncle killed by a drunk driver. How do
you know your uncle didn’t cause many accidents on the
way home, or hurt or kill someone and then “miraculously”
got home safely?
Did you miss the part where I said my uncle should have been in jail?
That still does not mean I think it would have been good policy to chase him in hot pursuit whenever he was spotted weaving in traffic.
The same argument could be used to chase people spotted talking on a cellphone while driving, or eating, or whatever.
Hot pursuit has become a sport, news channels provide live feeds for an eager populace to watch the fun...many hoping that a hideous accident will occur and thereby multiply the excitement.
Dude, don't use DUmpster logic (The Art of The Tear-Jerking Anecdote).
