“Pursuit? Whats that? Are we still allowed to do those?”

Not in Baltimore. Police can only chase if the suspect was involved in a very violent crime. Even then they have to call supervisors for permission.

My in-law is a state trooper and he sometimes brings over his tapes of chases and “incidents”. It’s like a popcorn and movie night. fun stuff.

We have a version of that where I work and you can make an argument for the first part but checking with a supervisor seems a bit silly to me which isn't the case here. Rather the supervisor should call of the pursuit if it sounds like it's going sideways.
