PITA
police stroker said:Local agency's its to big of a liability and risk to shoot in a populated area. That's why we waited for the DPS Troopers once out side the city limits due to them having the authority to shoot and disable a vehicle. They also wanted to get in a clear area. Diesel fuel doesn't ignite as easy as gas....
Remember most local officers can not fire into a vehicle unless the subject evading first fires at officers, remember the laws are written wierd. DPS is exempt from most due to more broad juristiction and authority.
I just love DPS's policy!!
Once they got involved, you just knew the pursuit was going to stop!!
