Educate yourself.Bullshit, if you run from the cops for any reason. They will chase you.
Key Aspects of Police Pursuit Policies:
- Balancing Test: Officers must continuously evaluate if the danger of the chase outweighs the benefit of capturing the suspect.
- Supervisory Control: Policies usually require immediate notification of a supervisor, who monitors the pursuit and has the authority to terminate it.
- Restrictions on Offenses: Many departments, such as the Chicago Police Department, prohibit chases for, or require termination of, pursuits involving minor traffic offenses, property crimes, or non-forcible felonies.
- Risk Factors: Factors such as traffic volume, weather conditions, speed, and pedestrian presence are critical in deciding whether to initiate or continue a pursuit.
- Termination Criteria: Pursuits should be terminated if the suspect's identity is known and they can be arrested later, or if the risk to the public is too high.
