Comment: If they are worried about public safety shouldn't they be worried about persons in a high speed chase, along with persons driving on the wrong side of the road.

Comment: We need to move forward not backwards. I'm all forward in chasing within reason for those who have committed a crime and endanger others. I'm all for letting the Chief and Sheriff do their job without criticism. by walter

Comment: bad guys watch tv and the news on the internet. DA !! this is a free pass for them. they could be running because their stupid or a load of dope or just killed some body and their stuffed in the trunk. stiffer laws are needed and longer time in prison for the bad guy. by mickey

Comment: At the same time, make it a felony to evade police. by Bob

Comment: Sapd currently has no policy to stop fleeing suspects. So chases go until the suspect decides to stop or they crash the vehicle. Unfortunately criminals know the policy and what police are allowed to do. The change in policy is only goin to allow police to chase violent criminals not all felony crimes. Police need to have the ability to stop fleeing suspects before the chase gets out of control and the suspects cause collateral damage

Comment: They should chase anyone who is breaking the law, not just a felony suspect. And how would they know if they are a felony suspect or not are they psychics by Wanda

God protect our Police Officers out there protecting us hard working citizens. by Linda
