high speed persuits

[Rodimus]

I think those who cause police to chase after them in a high-speed persuit on a highway or any roads should be put in prison for 20 years. These criminals are endangering the lives of all the drivers and passengers on the highways and roads. They should get a serious punishment.

It's a sport the next county over.

They usually get 30 days and their license either suspended or restricted.

I agree, but if 30 days is all that they get of a prison sentence, to me, that is not long enough. Depending on why they take off in the first place and for how long the chase goes on for should be considered when deciding on how long the person is to rot in the pokey.

God bless you always!!!

They get reported to the FBi also

What if they do not drive over the speed limit when running from the cops?

 

[JOSweetHeart]

^^^ It would still be a chase due to their refusal to stop.

God bless you always!!!

I think they are still endangering the lives of pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcyclists, ect., and the lives of the police officers.

I would have two cops per car with the one on the passenger side with a hood-mounted .338 Lapua magnum rifle. Get a clear shot at the speeder ahead and take him out. Go for the tire or gas tank. Collateral damage accepted.

No, collateral damage is never acceptable. But I have no problem with lethal force being used to stop fleeing drivers.

They kill far too many innocent people every year.

Well, I was sort of kidding on the square, but in war, collateral damage is often justified, though, with the computer control I envisioned, kept to a minimal risk. I thought you were going to say something about that Lapua going through the car, blowing it up, then going another 3 miles to go through two homes and hit a baby crib or something like that.

Actually, I see us heading to a future where every car will have an electronic radio passcode that can be read and accessed by police to just shut a car down (among a number of other uses). You and I might not see it, but it is coming--- I saw first hand folks working on such a goal back in the 1990s---

Time will come where operatives in the government (and world) very much want total control of people's lives both in surveillance, data gathering and control that people today simply do not imagine.

With that (similar to carbon credits) will be an effort to regulate what and how you eat by penalizing people for not "eating well" (a new way to tax the public). It is already here now being justified against the very poorest and sickest of people because they are the most vulnerable and easy, and once done, now they will have their foot in the door to justify more control over you and I.

And just wait until you see how they work AI into the equation. Day will come when machines will be telling people how to live, and they will do it.
