Geoff Caldwell’s considerable, pensive piece on police pursuit wasn’t the last word, as we see recently.
What has not been vocalized in defense of police policy might well be this: Overall, profiling shows that one failing to halt, even when pursued obviously over a distance, is likely to present an equally nasty scene if later served a warrant on another location. It could also be that improper registration will even make location difficult. The officer faces a “grit and go” situation.
