It’s not worth the danger of the chase for a traffic violation, and not worth the danger of the chase for the drugs.

    The police didn’t cause the chase. They participated in it, of course but I don’t think it’s reasonable to hold them responsible for the chase happening in the first place. The drug dealer(s?) could have stayed put.

    eta: I am by no means a police apologist or a “back the blue” type, either. There is plenty wrong with how police do the job they have but this isn’t that

      What? Of course the police caused the chase. The guy drove off, yes, but if the police don’t chase him there’s no chase.
