This just happened last week where I live (Topeka, KS). A guy on the interstate fled police...onto a surface street...and within 30 seconds, a person was killed.
The perp has been charged with murder.
But its also opened up some questions locally about chases. The state highway patrol started the chase, on the highway...but it quickly went to local city streets. And the highway patrol have a completely different chase/no-chase policy that city police. IE, city police would have called it off.
Here in NJ we had a real epidemic of stolen car chases years ago, and most departments don’t engage in high-speed chases anymore. The highways may still see them, but they are finished in neighborhoods; too dangerous.
