want to backtrack I can't we were watching on the map and I'm like OK he's in the airport we got this like yeah it's a free for all and then he made it back out I'm just like and he went through the field up there I'm like oh my and no time like on the map it was fast I know flying through that field I'm like holy cow yeah he was moving pretty good you guys took that the gate at the uh end of is it t uh huh I was like yeah hahaha I just like I'm gonna try to cut them off like that's smart that's probably how you messed up most of your stuff yeah well I don't think it was there I saw like back tires off the ground I don't think it was there honestly I think it was coming through the field on the north side of the airport OK cause we shoot through that and I'm like oh this is gonna hurt we we hit this hard ha ha ha I know I know this is a tree like an exotic tree but it's not illegal this yeah looks like a to me this is his property oh there's just in there so I prefer you to throw it in there I'm gonna put this on your floorboard here it's just a little bit Mine's a little messed up I tried not to hit him hard but he kept getting out of everything I was really hoping it was gonna end before he got into the airport all right that ass nope we found a way through it somehow I'm like oh my god should be used in like a an ad for 70 Equinox though yeah that's what I'm saying like a house is Equinox little force no gun yet nope that seems very weird why well the past one of the occupants said he had a gun on him there was a gun in here there's a lot that I haven't gone through yet okay there's a magazine let me get another bag for another it's empty though hey maybe threw it out when he's driving that's what I'm thinking we found a magazine but no gun yet you think they tossed it anytime uh the rear passenger side was down cause I saw his hands up in the air I just remember after the first pit the girl in the back seat like hello well what I'm wondering if the passenger window was open and they took it is that why they went off roading in the ditches through here like to get it out the window like I mean maybe yeah I was gonna say do you want a dog that was wild that was wild that was the craziest chase I've ever been a part of really I think I myself just kidding I'm glad everybody no I was the one I was the lead car through here he didn't throw anything you're searching you got gloves on you that was a tough track hold on let me get all this yeah I got mine smoke device but this seems heavy there's something else in here yes ooh let's not point that that way hold on hold on that's it clear that look over here oh yeah that's a nice one but that hammer's back the hammer's back and one in the chamber hold on well I mean our body cameras are rolling so is that a 45 or a 40 45 there it is it's kind of a pretty gun Whren versus United States 1,996 an equipment violation constitutes valid probable cause for a traffic stop regardless of the officer's subjective motivation lesson any observable traffic infraction lawfully opens the door to a full investigative stop no matter how minor it appears Illinois versus Wardlow 2000 unprovoked flight from law enforcement is a legally cognizable factor supporting probable cause to pursue and detain prior evasion history on record elevates that threshold further less and flight is not a neutral act it carries legal weight and justifies escalated police response Wisconsin Statue 346 dot 04 subsection 3 vehicle fleeing the offense becomes a felony when the driver exceeds the posted speed limit by 25 miles per hour or more causes property damage or creates a substantial risk of bodily harm all three conditions were satisfied within the first 60 seconds Scott versus Harris 2,007 officers may use vehicle contact techniques including the PT maneuver to terminate a pursuit that endangers the public a motorist who creates the dangerous conditions of a pursuit cannot later assert a constitutional claim against the force used to bring that pursuit to an end Graham versus Conner 1,989 use of force is assessed from the perspective of a reasonable officer on scene not with hindsight from a courtroom with an armed felon confirmed an airport incursion logged and a squad car already rammed the force decisions here fall within established constitutional parameters Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Section 91 dot 13 reckless interference with airport operations carries federal implications a vehicle operating on an active runway at 90 miles per hour creates an aviation collision hazard not addressed by standard pursuit law this remains a legal gray zone rarely tested in American case law lesson pursuit doctrine has no clear framework for this scenario Wisconsin Statue 941 29 Possession of firearm by a convicted felon this is a Class G felony carrying up to 10 years per offense the statue applies to both the driver and the rear passenger both convicted felons in a vehicle containing a loaded handgun with the hammer cocked and a round in the chamber Wisconsin Statute 940 30 force imprisonment intentional confinement of another person without their consent constitutes a criminal offense the passenger repeatedly demanded to exit throughout the pursuit her statements captured on 911 audio and body cam satisfy both the intent and the act required to establish this charge against the driver constructive possession doctrine a person may be held criminally liable for contraband they did not physically hold if the prosecution proves both knowledge of and the ability to control that contraband vehicle ownership created legal exposure here the prosecutor's decision not to proceed suggests the burden of proof could not be met under the specific facts of this case Wisconsin Statue 940 23 subsection 1 m first degree recklessly endangering safety this offense requires conduct demonstrating utter disregard for human life four separate counts were charged each grounded in a distinct act two near impacts with civilian vehicles a deliberate collision with a patrol car and an incursion across an active runway each count stands independently under Wisconsin law Wisconsin Statue 973 dot 1 Truth in Sentencing Framework Confinement and extended supervision are served consecutively not concurrently the initial prison term must be completed in full before supervision begins final sentence 12 years confinement 11 years extended supervision a combined exposure of 23 years the firearm was found the charges were filed the sentence was imposed but the law left at least two questions unanswered at what point does a pursuit itself become the greater public danger and does existing doctrine obligate officers to terminate it and when a passenger is trapped inside a fleeing vehicle against her will who bears the legal duty to stop those questions are still open
