I did think of the fact it could definitely be a rapist or a murderer on the run or any horrible person out there that doesn’t want to get caught.  That is the reason I NEVER flash my lights to warn a car that the police are hid out somewhere.  That is probably how they catch a lot of people that need to be caught.  To the flashers that is something to think about.  But, if a person is weaving on the road, that usually indicates they are drunk or high  or 5 or 6 years old.  This is when I feel they shouldn’t be chased because they are going to wreck and kill themselves or some innocent person.  If the situation was different such as someone being held hostage in a car by a rapist, murderer, someone  on the run that just escaped prison,  or someone that has robbed a bank and got hostages, sure a different strategy would have to be used.  Those situations could be a life or death situation before a chase started. Sadly  if they run and have nothing to loose then they aren’t going to care if they crash and kill their hostage or whoever trying to get away.  I’m not trying to be mean or critical of the law, like I said I have a lot of respect for the police, but it breaks my heart everyday when I go down Hwy 21 and see where that young man lost his life that in my opinion could have been avoided.
