But, if you show me multiple gallon zip lock bags of a controlled substance (regardless of your belief of whether it should be controlled or not) from the arrest… it’s absolutely ‘with intent to distribute’ at that point.
How did the cops know that was in the car when they escalated a traffic stop for a traffic violation into a high speed chase?
They put people in danger fora traffic violation. The fact that they didn’t kill anyone this time and got lucky on the drugs (which shouldn’t be illegal anyway) does not excuse the risk they caused.
When a person tries to leave on a bike for instance, that is still considered a chase, even if its not very far from the initial point of the cop trying to detain the person. This stop at a Texas campus is an example.
Student was pulled over for lack of lights biking at night.
The title of the article is “Georgia cops proudly show off ecstasy pills, after high-speed freeway chase over traffic violation, and crash caused by PIT-maneuver”
This time their stupid driving did not cause much damage. Other times that manuever has caused loss of life for those involved and innocent bystanders. Police should not be using pit manuevers at all. They are dangerous even for trained professionals in a controlled environment.
“Ends justifies the means”? You’re saying the police risking lives and property over a traffic violation is ok because it worked, and they got lucky with what the guy was carrying?
I guess you just disvovered that most of this super leftist community doesn’t want to adress actual problems but instead jerk eachother off about how evil Police inherintly are. Welcome to lemmy
The article is really short but I don’t see an argument side with what happened here.
Sounds like the cops were reasonable since they didn’t pursue at all cost. That’s a large issue of mine. Often they pursue at all cost and that’s a no no.

The officer was in danger. So was the public. Either you’re arguing in bad faith or you’re stone dumb.

There are safe police chases?

We do know. The article says the officer was doing traffic enforcement, not drug interdiction.

The officer crashed his car. Into the suspect’s car.
Where do you get high speed chase? Nothing in the article states the speed.
A chase just means they didn’t stop when the lights and sirens came on.

Read the article. They don’t describe that at all.

“Police generally shoulndnt shoot at black kids, but this black kid was a real asshole, so it’s justified.”
The pigs didnt know what was in the car when they risked the life of the driver and many people around.

But if I think pits are bad than every use of pit by police is bad and therefore this article aligns with the topic here quite well.
