So let me get this straight.
Your statement appears that you are finding fault with the police officer that attempted to investigate a driver that is weaving.
So far the only thing that the officer did that was "wrong" was to attempt a traffic stop.
Now the teenagers on the other hand were
1. Driving underage
2. The above obviously means without a license.
3. After curfew
4. Stolen vehicle
5. No seat belts.
6. Speeding
7. God only know what else they had done or were doing.
Do you need a reality check or a brain check?
"Do you need a reality check or a brain check?"
Actually I don't like the idea of high speed pursuits either, I don't think they're necessary MOST of the time given today's tracking technology. This said, it isn't right to blame the police for what happened, and I wasn't there so it's hard to say what I would have done under the circumstances. But I know the police didn't drive that car into the creek, the driver could have let up on the gass; I feel sorry for anyone in the car who didn't want to be part of the chase.
