NYPD officers not allowed to pursue suspected traffic violators who flee stops under new policy

I completely agree.

Tags are useless in court, can be stolen, altered or not on file. No-pursuit policies encourage reckless drivers. Helicopters aren’t always available or able to track. Bad, weak, woke, liberal policy.

I had a mayor once tell me he might recommend city council implement a no pursuit policy when I was chief and I really liked him. But I told him with all due respect sir, I’ll resign immediately. Thats dereliction of duty, like military ROE that get troops killed. He heard me out as a former trooper and he realized how stupid that idea is. Like a no arrest policy for misdemeanors, no stops or warrants served after dark, no foot pursuits; it’s all Marxist, anarchist, de-policing, to hamstring cops and embolden thugs. Any practice that is supported by the ACLU is garbage. I hope Trump cuts all federal funds, support and NCIC access to ANY agency with these pro-thug policies.

And pursuits can kill innocent people and destroy private property. Bad, weak, authoritarian policy.
