The deputies stopped all southbound traffic and held the driver at gunpoint and quickly learned that the Ford had not been stolen, the CHP said. They sent the driver on his way.

Between the cops and others here, I wonder, does anyone have a clue what they are doing?

The driver was very fortunate the cops didn’t shoot him immediately on approaching the truck. They blew their chances for extra paid vacation.

The police should assume citizens are peaceful unless the circumstances prove otherwise. So what if the truck was actually stolen? Do thieves routinely engage in gun battles with the police? Not likely.

I’m not saying police should haphazardly go about their business, but why resort to violence when it isn’t warranted? We keep reading about SWAT teams that burst into the wrong homes, police shooting at people unrelated to the crimes (for simply being in the wrong place or being dressed like the suspects), etc.. How many of these situations could be peacefully resolved at less risk to all involved?

The GPS information led a team of sheriff’s deputies to pull over a white Ford truck near Hearn Avenue for a “high-risk felony stop,

All well and good, as long as I feel safer when out of the house. /s

a company that tracks stolen vehicles using GPS

Probably has insurance. Lawyers can't be far behind.

Okay, the police drew on someone they thought was a thief.

Question: So why can't I use deadly force to protect my own property? Answer: I'm not a cop, and I'm not a rich company owner.

What was their first clue? The white vs grey color, or the fact that it was the wrong make/model of truck?

For some real fun wait until computer driven cars are mandatory.

What could possibly go wrong?

Never mind that the vehicle didn’t match the description of make or color. “The computer tells me...”

The b@st@rds have too much time on their hands.

Maybe they should be on the lookout for muzzie cell members.

In NYC, the cops show up the next day and tell you to call your insurance company.

Obviously, CHP doesn’t have enough to do and should reduce its personnel.
