talk about a boring relationship

If the vehicle plates are known (99% of cop cars have dashcam) is there really any reason to chase them immediately?

Obviously if their crime is a violent felony that is a factor but almost ALL chases are the result of a initial traffic stop or at worst robbery (yes that could be violent felony but the vast majority of robberies only threaten violence, not inflict actual violence).

From the FBI:

Successful restrictions: Cities like Milwaukee, Los Angeles, and Orlando have restricted chase policies and have not seen corresponding spikes in crime.

Alternative technology: Some police departments are using GPS tracking units that can be fired onto a fleeing vehicle, allowing officers to disengage from a high-speed chase while still tracking the suspect. In one set of case studies, 80% of speeders were still apprehended using this method.

Widespread fatalities: More than one person is killed every day on average in police pursuit crashes.

Risk to bystanders: Most of those killed in police chases are not the fleeing drivers. 25-40% involved uninvolved third parties.

Disproportionate harm: Black people are 4x more likely to be killed in police pursuits than white people.

Traffic violations: The majority of pursuits begin because of a minor traffic or property-related offense.

Fatal chases: From 2017 to 2022, 82% of fatal police chases started over a traffic stop. Only about 15% were for violent felonies.

Low felony arrest rate: Only 1 in 50 result in a felony arrest.

Significant failure and crash rates

High escape rate: Studies suggest that between 30% and 50% of police pursuits end with no capture.

High crash rate: An FBI analysis 35%-40% of all pursuits ended in a crash.

Ineffective deterrence: A study found that 75% of fleeing drivers said they would slow down after police disengaged.

High financial costs

Taxpayer expense: The costs of high-speed chases, including litigation and liability payouts for crashes.

Kinda this funny thought I had but I know there's a couple lawyers on here.

Chat gpt says that my best bet would be to send a cease and desist letter (Which I kinda really hope I get to do one day) because if she calls you a narssicist, that's an opinion

So far as a one off statement I agree... But what if she spends weeks just exaggerating every story going on a campaign that's obviously meant to damage your social status?

I mean how many times have we seen someone take axe swings at an ex's reputation with no consequences.

Okay Guys, you might have to think about this.

When you carry your girl, one hand is under her legs, where do you put your other hand?

I was filling out an online form to get a product replaced. The company asked me to attach pictures showing the defect. I got an email back saying that one of the pictures contained "graphic nudity". Yikes! I had no idea I included something I shouldn't have. Now I'm wondering what they saw.
