On March 13th, 2025, a Connecticut trooper spots a black Subaru with no front license plate and trouble staying in its lane. But after running the rear plate, the stop immediately becomes more significant. Troopers recognize the driver as the same woman who fled from them just 1 week earlier. The breakdown starts now. >> Don't [ __ ] move. Get out of the car. Get out of the car. Open the door. I'll tell you in a minute. Car, please. I got a I got a >> Because officers already know this driver reportedly fled from them just a week earlier, her refusal to exit carries more weight than it normally would. Mentioning a lockout kit shows they're already considering how to gain access to the vehicle without depending on her cooperation, limiting her ability to control what happens next. >> Please just open the door. I don't want to break the window. Can you just open the door? You're electric, correct? Okay. You're the owner of the car? Yes. Okay. So, step out of the car. Ma'am, you got a warrant, okay? Out of It's I believe it's an old saber, true thefts area. I'll explain it in a minute. I'll show you if you get out. We're just going to >> The officers are making the choice clear. Exit voluntarily or they may have to use another method to gain access. Her saying she's scared shifts the conversation toward her emotional state, but it doesn't address the actual instruction. So, officers are continuing to explain the consequences while still giving her an opportunity to cooperate. >> I'll show you if you get out. We're just going to >> I'm scared right now. Like, what? >> We're going to break the window if you don't >> I don't understand. Why? I don't understand. >> I I The bottom of the car. It's a lawful order from the state police. Get out of the car. Now, watch out. She's in gear. >> What are you doing? >> OPEN THE >> OPEN THE WHAT ARE YOU DOING? >> AT THIS POINT, officers have repeatedly given her the opportunity to exit voluntarily, and that still hasn't changed her response. But, watch what happens next, because her next decision completely changes what the officers are dealing with. >> WHAT ARE YOU >> OPEN THE >> OPEN THE WHAT ARE YOU DOING? >> OPEN THE DOOR. RAM IN THE CAR. >> THE MOMENT SHE drives off, the officers' priorities completely change. This is no longer about gaining compliance during a stationary stop. Now, they have to manage a moving vehicle that has already demonstrated an intent to get away, and the public safety risk is about to increase dramatically. >> 10-4. >> She's running northbound. They got the tire. >> Got the tire. >> Branded Cruiser. >> It's like priority 19. >> Running here on 395. >> 10-27. >> Oh, I >> 10-4. >> she's giving it up. 100 yards in. >> Right here, she's walking. >> She stopped on her own, but after already driving away once, officers can't assume that means she's ready to cooperate. They now have to approach this as a temporary opportunity to regain control while accounting for the possibility that she could take off again. >> Is that her? >> It's not it. >> That's not it. >> No, 455, you got the wrong one. Jesus Christ. All right, who Who had last direction of travel? This isn't the one. >> It appears officers may have briefly followed the wrong vehicle, and that creates a major setback because they've now lost direct visual contact with her. The priority shifts to relocating the Subaru as quickly as possible using the vehicle description, direction of travel, and communication between units to narrow down where she may have gone. >> Yeah, I saw her car take a left at 97, and some person on the highway pointed. >> I'm just going to be seeing her off on 169 as normal driving. >> I know she turned down that road, road. I know she turned off that road, road. >> Uh there's something here, Kendall extension. Uh troop, there's a 10 with that vehicle, unattended. Imagine that's the female who's booking it through the neighborhood. This thing, yeah. They're actually Hang on, I got it. Uh they're going to have a dog, so >> Oh. >> With officers no longer having direct visual contact, bringing in the canine gives them another way to establish her direction of travel. Starting from the abandoned vehicle can potentially give the dog a fresh track, helping officers narrow the search instead of relying only on where they think she may have gone. >> [screaming] >> The 33-year-old driver was taken into custody after officers located her following the search. The case resulted in a lengthy list of charges. Those included an attempted assault involving a public safety officer, first-degree reckless endangerment, three criminal mischief counts, two counts of interfering with an officer, reckless driving, engaging police in pursuit, and leaving the scene of a collision. She also faced controlled substance and drug paraphernalia charges, along with violations involving the vehicle's plates and maintaining her lane. From the initial refusal to exit, officers repeatedly gave her opportunities to cooperate before the situation changed. Once she drove away, their priorities had to change with it. First responding to the pursuit, and then shifting resources toward locating her after she abandoned the vehicle. Do you think officers handled those changing circumstances appropriately, or would you have liked to see something done differently? Let me know in the comments below.
