All right, coming up from Maze. Looks like it's going to go northbound on Maze and now northbound on Maze. Look like it's obeying traffic laws and speed limits, but not stopping for our cruiser. [music] The video for today is an example of how frustrating it can be for an officer to do his job while following an extremely restrictive pursuit policy. A simple explanation of the Columbus police pursuit policy is that if you can shoot it, you can chase it. Anything else takes a great deal of consideration. Here you see an officer following a vehicle that does not have its lights on. This is a clear violation of traffic law. The officer activates his lights and siren, but the vehicle refuses to pull over. >> 122 on channel one. >> 122. >> I have a vehicle refusing to stop. 71 southbound just passing the 20 270 east exit. License plate John Young Paul 42 4255 >> just past the 270 east exit. Um coming up to 161's got one southbound 161 the stop. about 122. Be advised, this is out of traffic. I am not pursuing evading all traffic laws. >> What do you expect an officer to do in this situation? According to the policy, the officer must deactivate his lights and siren, but can stay behind the vehicle as long as it's not recklessly fleeing or eluding. In this case, the officer remained behind the vehicle while following all traffic laws. The current policy does not allow for a pit maneuver in this situation, but it should. At some point, you have to trust the officer behind the wheel to make the right decision rather than have their actions micromanaged by administrators in high-rise buildings who have completely forgotten how to do the job. 13.
