Bummer dude, you should do it regardless, law suits are overrated.

If a patrol car stops a vehicle for a DUI, and the driver takes off, what does an officer do?

Just curious.

 

Your hypothetical does not justify the use of deadly force. The cop would simply chase after the suspect, but if the suspect is endangering others (i.e. high speed chase), the police should back off (in my opinion) to prevent possible harm to others.

I fully expected to click the article & see Eric Deters as their attorney...

 

1 million percent agreed.

 

Turns out Deters is the attorney after all...

Now if he tries to run me over, that's Wanton 1st and the pursuit is on as long as the need to apprehend out weighs the risk. Pursuits are contingent upon the crime committed, preservation of evidence, traffic, weather, etc. It's always changing. If it's a murder suspect who is unknown, well that's probably gonna go till KSP shows up and implements the PIT .

 

If he tries to run you over it is Criminal Attempt to Commit Murder.

My 1 Real pursuit was a drunk trying to run me over. Initially I thought the Commonwealth Atty was going for wanton 1st. He plead so I have no idea what it wound up being...

You are the one placing the charge Rocket, charge them with the Murder charge. After that, it is out of your hands and you are a witness for the prosecution.

I had to terminate due to speeds and the road. He crashed out about a mile later and someone else 10-15'd the subject. I just checked courtnet. He plead to 8 charges. Most serious was the wanton 1st trying to run me over (glad I'm nimble and jumped up on the hood and to the side :lol:) and fleeing/evading 1st mv. Took 7 years in his plea.

I bet if former was the perp he would have mowed your ass down!

Well I know he wouldn't have a gun

Again, show me were it said he shot and killed him? It does not say how the person died, just that a cop shot at him, and he drove into a pole.

 

The video posted with the news story reported that he was taken to the hospital, where he died as a result of the gunshot wound.

The DA decided to not file any criminal charges against the officer.
