I'm...Conchscooter,<BR/>Unreasonable search and seizure. I'm all for that. It seemed reasonable to "seize" a stolen bike, though.<BR/><BR/>David,<BR/>There's some sense in that. I have been guilty of the "let's teach people they can't mess with us!" thing. Maiming or killing a person or bystanders over a property crime does seem a waste. Pursuing a person who's a known risk is another thing. <BR/><BR/>Rick,<BR/>I've asked the same question a lot. Civilization is going to "PC" itself into total ineffectiveness.<BR/><BR/>Steve,<BR/>Exactly. Even if it means you get chased by Johnny Law!<BR/><BR/>Jon,<BR/>That had to be frustrating for the cops. Where was the police car BEFORE the car smashed the ST1300 police bike?

The idea being that a high speed pursuit will usually end in a crash with the rider getting hurt. So if you rabbit, they let you go. It's a long way from the old days of, "Stop or I'll shoot!" <BR/><BR/>Dave T.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03003653784810150167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20666162.post-67406599408296860822007-12-04T02:39:00.000-08:002007-12-04T02:39:00.000-08:00Crazy enough to sound like an urban legend.
