We have to play by the rules, criminals don't. The rules get more restrictive all the time. Think about a federal lawsuit if you pull over a vehicle with the wrong people in it. Makes you wonder if the job's worth doing at all when you might get indicted for a civil rights violation for doing your job.

I was talking about this today. This could have all be avoided in Montgomery Ala. and there wouldn't have been a belt way sniper. The Cop said when he arrived on the scene of the liquor store killing, the perp was standing over the victim and ran away. The Cop chased him but he got away. What ever happened to " Halt or I'll shoot."? Then shoot. Now all the cop can do is say " Halt or I'll say halt again."

Yeah, LOL, "stop, I really mean it this time; your in alot of trouble if we ever catch you buddy."

In our city, and many cities now, if we would have stopped the sniper vehicle, and we had no knowledge of them being involved in the shootings; if they would have took off in their car, we would not be allowed to chase them, we'd just have to wave at them and watch them drive away.
