Deputy Fired!

Look at the links from the previous thread - that gives BFE a new definition. There was NOT going to be an issue with overload. While your points are valid, they don't apply to this case in any form.

How do we keep another LEO from doing the same thing? I have found most of them to be very courteous, and understanding of what we are doing out there, but there has to be a few of these rogue individuals sprinkled around the plains that have it out for chasers.

How do you PREVENT it? That's not possible.

 

[Rob Hedrick]

I know we cannot prevent someone from arresting chasers, but I have altered some chase habits to avoid the convergence such as using back roads, as opposed to main highways, and county roads. I think that if confronted by a rogue LEO, something as simple as "Okay Officer" then driving "away" and moving to a different location would have s/him lose interest. It may be unavoidable, but as many sheriff-nadoes (what the rest of us would call scud) that get reported every year, maybe the LEO are targeting the wrong bunch.

MOVE

When an officer tells me to do something like move down the road...I DO IT....My parents taught me that when I was like 5. The cop should have and could have just beat him down whenever he lunged back at him in the video. Luckily he got a brain for .05 seconds. Your not superman out there. If law enforcement tells you to move...then move. You would have had to go down the road or to another spot and look....no court costs....not having your name out in the public.....nothing.....just drove down the road.

Conformists. LOL. I'm glad not everyone thinks that way.
