[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]If he was driving 30 mph he wasn’t in pursuit in an official term, he was following.[/b] There is a difference. He never should have been convicted. I agree with others this is why crime is through the roof. [/quote] The MPD general order on police pursuits: "Attempt by a law enforcement officer in an emergency vehicle to apprehend a suspect who is actively attempting to elude apprehension while operating a motor vehicle.” [/quote] Interesting. This seems to say that this policy applies only to suspects operating a motor vehicle. But the suspect in this case was on a scooter, which, by any reasonable definition is not a motor vehicle. So how did the officer violate the policy?[/quote] It was a moped. A moped is a motor vehicle. People operating mopeds are required to wear helmets. The initial official pretext for the pursuit was that Karon Hylton-Brown was not wearing a helmet.[/quote]
