yes it a no no to run away from the cops. talking about deserving to lose your life, well if you dont want to lose your life then dont run away from the cops, whatever the case may be. i still blame the driver and not the cops for the loss of life. |

You're making the choice for everyone else on the road though.
I suggested the track 'cause that's where my friends get the speeding out of their systems. |

Which 401 do you drive on? When I drive on the 401 in Toronto the average speed is about 20. Once you get far enough away and the traffic thins out, maybe people go about 120 or so. Sure, 140 isn't really dangerous when the traffic is light, but this was 160 and it was not an empty road.

But she didn't lose her life over something like SPEEDING on a highway, she lost her life over not only fleeing from police, but doing so in a manner that put several other people's lives at risk! |

i still think the officer made a hasty decision.. and people do easily drive 140 on the 401, ive experienced it many times going east from the don valley, the cops dont do anything
running from the cops is a bad idea no doubt.. but cops should be tranied and experienced in taking down the drivers.. his procedure was totally wrong.. where did he think shed go after ramming her at that speed?.. to a complete stop?
should have thought about it a bit more.. but i guess happens right |

Oh yes they do. And I'm not just talking about the quota-driven speed traps.
First of all I'm not sure how you know this unless you have a radar. But in any case, they may not pull people over for going 140 if everyone in that lane is going 140, or if there's no traffic and no real danger of going 140, but if someone is weaving in and out of 100-traffic at 140, you better believe they'll get pulled over if a cop is on duty.
The problem with rules is that people read them blindly at face value without looking at the surrounding circumstances. Most cops will try to actually assess the situation before handing out tickets, unless it's the end of the month and they haven't met their quota and they're going to get canned if they don't write 7 more tickets in 3 hours. That's really the exception rather than the rule, though.

Uh... yes? What would you do if you were being chased by a police cruiser with its siren on and it rammed you from the rear? Only an idiot would actually think they could escape. Unless you can prove that she was a paranoid schizophrenic and honestly believed that it was really a deranged killer in the cruiser who was planning to rape and kill her and steal her car.
Honestly, I think I'm going to quit replying here and just end with this:
You guys aren't cops. You know nothing about their jobs or their procedures. If you were trying to follow someone and they decided to flee, you wouldn't know how to catch them. It's simply not your place to dictate how police should do their jobs. This is not an example of police corruption, it's an example of a routine chase that went awry because some dumb bitch took it upon herself to conduct a criminally dangerous and negligent activity on a public road. It's a tragic event but a lot of you really need to just butt out and accept that you don't really have enough knowledge of or experience with high-speed police chases to criticize. |

Oh goody, now we're not just getting the anti-police bull, we're getting the anti-American bull!
Your input is neither necessary nor relevant. Peddle your hate somewhere else. And learn to spell damn it.
Ugh, I said I wasn't going to reply anymore but that crap just really burns me. I mean , you just HAD to say it didn't you, dip? |

thats true.. and im sure its even worse in the states because they use miles per hour.. so when we look at a 5 km per hour difference they probably look at it the same with a 5 miles per hour diffence speeding.. which would equal more than 8 km/hr difference.. so its probably much easier to speed there then here.

probably have no choice but to spin out do a couple of rolls crash into some trees off the shoulder and die a horrible and firery death.
Its only logical that with a car of that mass, high center of gravity, travelling at that speed would HAVE THE OPTION of haulting after a ram to the side like that.
I dont agree with the driver.
And i dont agree with the cops decision. that simple.. he should have used more brains than braun in that situation, the road was clear ahead. she just crossed the state boarder..
take some time to look at your surroundings and your procedure.
I understand that you would think that this person is a threat to society, but obcviously since we arent cops we cant really say if that was right or wrong.. but judging by the result of the incident and our system of law in general, i would say that running from the cops shouldnt be punished by a death sentance |

It wouldn't have taken much, either passing the car and slowing it down from ahead, or having a slower patrol car get in front of it further up the highway. Then, when the car is at a more reasonable speed, the pit manouver can be applied.
A spike strip could have been laid down as an alternative. |
