IMO, I feel the authorities should have every legal and other tools available to aprehend any suspect fleeing from police. Whether it be an off duty cop, one working currently or any other citizen, the person fleeing could be someone who is really bad. The police stopping a chase should only be done in extreme situations....heavy traffic, loss of human life vs benefits of aprehending. Judgement of the officers in pursuit should be the only ones able to decide wether to stop or to continue. That being said, we should have more cameras mounted on our police vehicles to properly review situations like this if they arent already equiped to do so.
The second topic someone touched, I do realize if a police is making and emergency manouver its usualy for a reason, however, if you dont let the public drivers know this, it causes reactions and sometimes lead to accidents. Driving down university "where there are no street lights" a cop was approaching at a high rate of speed unable to handle the corner swirving in to our lane (no light, sirens notifying of his speed/approach). We almost swirved off the road but luckily there are paved shoulders and wide lanes....
