At one point, Harris is shown pulling into a shopping center parking lot, with Scott, a Coweta County deputy, and two colleagues trying to block him. Harris then hits Scott's vehicle while fleeing. The officer radioes his supervisor, requesting permission to use potentially deadly force to stop Harris.
"Let me have him, my car's already tore up," Scott says on the tape.
How about suing the suspect of the car chase that work for me I wonder was victim was on CELL PHONE HELLO

Lol!

Had he simply pulled over, he'd have gotten a ticket and would be walking around today, free as a bird............
“Your honor, if they weren’t chasing me, I wouldn’t have had to run!”
While not a shock, I was expecting Ginsburg.
He probably doesn't have any money, but how about suing his law firm for tying up valuable judicial resources with this case in the first place. The state should seek to recover its legal fees spent defending the officer and the police department from this litigation lottery attempt by a felonious criminal and his ambulance-chasing attorney.

Excuse me?
Translation here please.
It must be sad to go through life with less sense than Justice Ginsburg.
The little gimp will now sue the manufacturers of the car he and the officer were driving.
I was surprised there was only one lib dissenter. Maybe Ruth was asleep again.
Pursuit? Whats that? Are we still allowed to do those? /sarc
Unless a officer knows that a guy just shot someone and now is running, I don’t think that a high-speed chase is worth the danger it poses to the community. Gas skips, bank robberies, etc. are a loss of property, and the killing of innocent bystanders just to catch a guy that stole a tank of gas or $50,000 is not worth it. My friends’ teenage daughters were run into the freeway barrow pit while an officer chased down a gas skip. If there are good reasons that I’m not seeing, I’d appreciate some illumination.
Might not be a bad idea. Why is a car manufacturer allowed to produce a car that can exceed the maximum legal speed? In Georgia the maximum legal speed is 75 MPH and yet some new vehicles are capable of speeds exceeding 185 MPH.
I feel the Supremes have finally found some “sense” and are using it in every facet of the law. For them to write the comments chastizing the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals (really taking them to the cleaners) tells me they are demanding the Appeals judges need to wake up and smell the coffee. I don’t know which of the appeals judges found for the loser, and I can only guess who might have appointed them. I’d be interested in knowing.
I read it 4 times and still don’t get it.
In addition to becoming a quadriplegic he should have also got 10 years of hard labor. That would teach the little punk to run from the cops.
