Vegaslegal,,I hope one day we can agree on a topic that has nothing to do with the Crossfire,,,Until then a friendly observation. The key phrase.Any REASONABLE" necessary means. With that in mind many law enforcement agencies no longer engage in a vehicle pursuit over misd. property damage for this very reason. Is it reasonable, and is the safety of the general public worth the risk involved. many a lawyer has made a good living trying wrongfull death cases or where subjects have been injuried in auto related cases with tradgic outcomes..Had the outcome in the above situation had a traggic ending you would be laughed out of a court room had you pulled the adove cases from your leather bound briefcase as a defense for such conduct,,,,,over a mailbox. I have seen what happens to a vehicle and the occupants when a car his a stationary object or another vehicle at the above listed speeds,,,its sad,I have also dealt with the families....
