On January 6, 2018 near Clovis, New Mexico two New Mexico Department of Public Safety troopers were in pursuit of a white truck that was driving recklessly and at high speed. Although DPS' pursuit policy generally indicates that pursuits be discontinued when the fleeing driver's evasive actions put the public at elevated risk, in this pursuit the primary trooper was still hot on the truck's tail when its driver blew through a busy intersection, leaving the trooper without any safe options as he approached.... so he took the safest option he could find, and destroyed his cruiser. [It is possible to calculate vehicle speed with surprising accuracy based off of highway markings in video. Approximation of the trooper's speed just prior to his swerving - calculated in that manner - indicates that he was likely traveling in the mid-to-high-80s mph when he slammed on the brakes and went right.] ~~~ Real World Police is proud to be an organizational supporter of the New Mexico Foundation for Open Government — working to educate, advocate, and litigate the public's right to know.
