Hot Pursuit

[Lady Cop]

I thought states were going to attempt to put an end to that bullshit because so many innocent people were getting killed.

this was my reply to that in the Ohio thread:

that case brings up the topic of hot pursuit, a debate for many years. would be a good separate thread topic.
but what could they do? let him continue rampaging and killing?
most departments have hot pursuit guidelines and do their damndest not to endanger civilians whenever possible. that's why you often see slow pursuits. or even backing off. it's a tough call when the bastard is out there already endangering the public. you can't back off if he has killed someone.
