Vehicle and People Pursuits

[Valor55]

I start out the shift getting into a pursuit. 120+ MPH. Terminated when the idiot started weaving through heavy traffic. We picked him up later.

Later some idiot decided to throw a beer bottle out the window at some cops on a traffic stop. We get him stopped and he's cuffed standing on the sidewalk. He curses out the LT and starts running.

There is nothing more comical than seeing someone try to run with their hands handcuffed behind their back. The three of us ran him down an applied the reasonable and necessary physical force, including OC, to get him back into custody.

There's nothing that gets the blood pumping like getting into chases.

Foot pursuits are the reason I'd like to see Taser come out with an 870-sized model, using stronger air cartriges with 100 foot leads.

PULL !

Did you charge him with theft? A old school Deputy here taught me that several years ago and I laughed at him until the judge found the guy guilty. The judge agreed that the Deputy owned the handcuffs and when the subject escaped he stole the cuffs.


Great way to start a shift, good job.

Nice job on both!

[phantasm]

escape = big trouble. The suspect didn't escape, BUT if he resisted, then he committed attempted robbery of the handcuffs. :-P

Here in Florida, we have Robbery by Sudden Snatching. A couple of nights ago an officer was getting into a physical with a suspect outside of a large bar. The officer was using his mag-light as a baton on him. The suspect grabbed the flashlight out of the officer's hand while he was using it as a baton. Officer charged him with robbery by sudden snatching, but using force to take the flashlight from the officer, and attempt to flee after taking it.

What was that movie Brad Pitt was in??? Oh yeah it was SNATCH.

[scarlet_tunic]

Reminds me of that episode of Third Watch where Bosco was wondering how to handcuff the one-armed man. Finally, he handcuffed his arm to his leg. As Bosco is turned away talking, the guy limps off.

Yokas: "We've got a foot pursuit, and uh, he claims to be armed."
Carlos: "He's only half right."
Bosco: "Oh, da... Stumpy! Wait for me!"
Yokas: "Fightin' crime."

When my 4x4 gets stuck in the mud I use a pulley, rops, winch and SNATCH block. :cool:

It wasn't any trouble at all, the guy kicked out the glass and escaped while the Deputy was getting the wife's information for his report. I wasn't saying that his guy escaped. Sorry for the confusion.
