      Probably in situations where the dude is just driving around with a gun and shooting people (as rare as that is). Probably want to stop the guy instead of giving him a ticket later after hes done killing lol.

        Right that’s why OP said judgement call. They are supposed to use their judgment to de-escalate when possible, yet they always seem to chose the most violent option available.

        Almost as if they were idiot bullies.

      I mean, it’s expired… it’s fair to say the address on file may not be reliable.

      Also, since they haven’t been pulled over, the driver isn’t identified.

      It’s a lot of detective work vs. just following the guy. The fact that some people are so stupid they kill themselves and endanger others because they just refuse to not drive doesn’t mean police shouldn’t be able to follow someone.

      A high-speed chase through a crowded downtown, this was not. As far as police know, it’s a drunk driver, or someone with their license suspended for good reason. It wasn’t someone getting hit with a pit maneuver into a schoolbus.
