[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is more strict than Fairfax County. Here is the FCPD  pursuit policy. Check out Section V.

https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/police/sites/police/files/assets/generalorders/go-504.pdf

They can’t pursue motorcycles.

They can’t pursue motorists that flee a traffic stop.

Police pursuits are a known hazard and have been for decades — on balance, high speed chases, especially of people who may not even be suspected of committing a violent crime, make places less safe, not more. If the entire gripe about MPD’s new policies boils down to “they can’t chase dirt bikes,” I have even less sympathy for this argument than I realized. [/quote]

Pursuits can be dangerous and result in damages and injuries, but many times suspects run because they are criminals.

“The suspect was identified as 22-year-old Jamarior Jackson.

He was taken to a hospital for a collapsed lung and a broken back and neck. Police searched the vehicle and found narcotics, marijuana, a Glock pistol and equipment to turn the gun into an automatic firearm.

Jackson was charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm, a felon in possession of ammunition, possession of a magazine over 20 rounds in Fairfax County, possession of an unregistered machine gun, felony hit and run, attempted carjacking and reckless driving.”
