[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1828639, member: 21926"] Yeah, none of us wants to lose our Raptor to a POS thief. OTOH, there has to be consequences for stupid behavior on both sides of the badge. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/local/1999/10/29/charles-county-state-officials-liable-in-death-tied-to-deputy/ff4f21e5-4444-4063-8d7b-113c8fe278d9/[/URL] "According to the lawsuit, Powell, who was off-duty, was traveling at speeds averaging 104 miles an hour to join other deputies pursuing a driver eluding police after a routine traffic stop. Powell was the fifth police car to join the chase and the farthest away, covering 3.6 miles in two minutes, according to the suit. After deputies realized they were chasing a traffic offender, Powell's supervisor radioed her to break off her pursuit. Powell later testified she did not hear her supervisor's radio broadcast." That 104 was registered in a 35mph zone. Powell was called off pursuit several times, not just once, and was found to not be using lights or siren. "Carrington and Damon's vehicle had stopped at a red light and had begun to proceed into the intersection after the light turned green, when their car was struck by a cruiser driven by Charles County Deputy Sheriff Jody Powell, on her way to join officers pursuing a drunk driver. Powell and Damon survived; Carrington was pronounced dead a short time later." So we may lament the policies that prevent chases, but when you put brainless oxygen thieves like Powell behind the wheel, dead volunteer firefighters are what you get. Then the “reconstruction”, which was found to be not credible and contradicted eyewitness testimony and dispatch records. I can buy another Raptor (well... Jen Juan or Jen Too anyway), but we can’t buy back the life of a human being. [/QUOTE]
