    Nice to see a Police Chief with balls, supporting his staff and looking after his community.....what he is getting at - this is NOT about number plate readers - is that if a bad guy runs, the police will chase him down. So many agencies and jurisdictions have taken a hands-off approach to chases, or at the least have put in place crippling restrictions, and it gives bad guys free reign and puts good people in peril
    While there is a risk to engaging in a pursuit, not only to the police officers but to the public at large (it is certainly not unheard of for a rat in a stolen car to plow into an innocent bystander, which is why so many agencies have taken the overly cautious approach) it must be recognized that there is an even greater risk to letting these same thugs simply run away

      Dude this police chief quit the other day cause he was against the 2nd Amendment preservation Act he was for gun control

      ​@@dillonberning3552 , fair enough, but that has nothing to do with his stand on pursuits. THAT, in isolation, was a good decision...but it clearly would not preclude him from taking an absolutely idiotic position on another issue, on another day
      If in fact he is a gun control zealot, then he made another good decision, that being to quit. You Americans have a rock solid constitution, despite the ongoing best efforts of the left wing politicos, and every effort needs to be made to protect it. Your states are in a unique position to legally defy your federal government, and that needs to happen if the very foundation of your country is under attack
      But, as always, it would be interesting to have all the facts, see the whole interview and get full context...these little snippets tend to supply only the juicy parts, not the boring - but often most important - background.

    Every officer I have known wants criminals off the streets, we live in a very Republican state. The same officers say they will not work in a democrat run state or city.

      Not sure I understand your point. Officers that you know personally will refuse to do the job they're sworn to do if a certain political party is in power?

    Big government at its worst. To catch a handful of people in stolen cars we're gonna track every driver throughout the city and read everyone's license plate. Didn't Ben Franklin say those who'd give up liberty for security will get neither? What happens when the reader is broken and they mark your car as stolen? What happens when they run out of stolen cars to track and start using them to ticket you because your sticker is 2 days late.

    Looking at the crime statistics you guys have never been close to winning the game. If this was an actual game you cops would have gotten the mercy rule. To far behind in point to possibly catch up. Most crimes committed go unpunished.
