I thought about that too, but thought that would just be about the equivalent as taking a few shots at them. I didn't realize anybody actually considered doing it though.

Wow might as well try to put a bullet in the head of someone in a cage running from them then. That's a messed up policy, they better only do it if the guys running from a murder scene or something.

a couple months ago they did that to somebody that a chick on the back, think it killed both of em. i dont run either, not worth it...unless your allready goin 120 and the cop is just sittin on the side of the road, dude will never catch up if you just take the next exit and a couple of turns.

i wanted to tell him that if he were to do that it would prob kill the person instantly....gotta figure if he does that, there's a good chance he's gonna run them over.
ah well, 'nother reason not to run.

That is just messed up and could kill someone. I would never run, but I have passed a cop going the other way and I was gonig very fast so I did not stick around to find out is he was going to try to get me. I like what was said " If I don't see lights then it's not running"

If they ever did that there would be a lawsuit filed so fast that the county would go boke defending itself against deadly use of force. I think the guy was BSing you guys and trying to see if the number of runners would change if if word got out.

Well if your registration wasn't expired for over a year I wouldn't have to write you a ticket.. Crap what the hell am I say... It hasn't been a year, I'll just let you off with a warning."

It may be challenged in court and if they ever do it and it will be ruled illegal. To perform a PIT on a bike is crazy because you are VERY likly to kill or cause serious injury to the rider(s). In order for a PIT to be used the criteria for using deadly force(eg a gun) must be met. And inorder for the police to used deadly force on someone who is fleeing them they must be a threat to the police or the public. IE a person fleeing the scene of a crime where they have already shot or shot at someone and they are still carrying the gun while running away, the police would be perfectly fine legally putting three rounds into the back of that guy. They cannot shoot a fleeing suspect if said suspect is fleeing without a weapon and/or do not pose a serious threat to the public. THEREFORE, to me, you CANNOT use a PIT manuever on a fleeing rider UNLESS that person is weilding a gun or weapon or somehow poses a serious threat to public saftey. The bike fleeing alone does pose a threat large enough to justify killing the rider and or passenger as well as the risk to the public when the police vehicle itself is in a high speed pursuit....if the bike hits another car, that car's occupants will be just fine, HOWEVER, if the police vehicle giving chase slams into another car....that could cause problems.....
so there is kind of a double wammy against using a PIT here.....I personally don't think it is constitutionally legal in using deadly force in this case and it puts the public at risk where is really should not be. And as far as I know, PA, NY and NJ you are not even allowed to do a PIT on anything let alone a bike.
You have to think about it this way. Can a police officer shoot a speeder just because they where speeding and won't stop? Are they allowed to pull you over, say you were speeding, you were doing 56 in a 25, put a bullet in you head and walk away? NO, HELL NO, therefore if they start a chase and end it with the rider dead, haven't they done the same thing if they knew that chasing said rider would end up killing them and what do you think the odds are that a PIT would end up with the rider dead?
basically, if anyone wants to put up any kind of fight it will be ruled illegal......
