Like what Make Make that make sense to me why I up my car, I up this car, why I'm chasing you, the entire public? Why the am I doing that? So, you better come Come with a better reason than I was scared for a turn signal violation for illegally parking.

Makes perfect sense. I don't know who you are as a person today. It's not great. That changes your life. It does like this.

I had people The son at our school and I I was dropping him off from school and I I picked up the internet box cuz I had to bring it back to my boss. So it's not a dope house anymore. >> So they got rid of it. >> Yes. >> Okay. I'm going to start writing my warrants. So you're in Tennessee now. Uh so it makes it a lot more difficult.

She is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law. >> What you just saw is rare. In the body cam footage you watched, one officer attempted 15 PIT maneuvers during a single pursuit. Now, according to a survey of about 10,000 pursuits, PIT maneuvers were used just 1,018 times. Do the math, and that works out to roughly 9.8% of pursuits. In my entire career, I'd never performed a PIT maneuver. Most officers in America never will. Many agencies don't certify their officers to perform them, and some agencies don't allow them at all, which makes footage like this even more unusual. Being trained and certified to perform PIT maneuvers takes a tremendous amount of vehicle control. An officer has to match a suspect's speed, get into the right position, make control contact, and still recover their own patrol car afterward. That's just the physical part of it. Knowing when not to attempt a PIT can be just as important as knowing how to perform one. Most properly executed PIT maneuvers result in relatively minor damage to the patrol car, but when you're dealing with a suspect like the one in this body cam, that isn't always how it ends. Potentially thousands of dollars in damage all because she chose to multiply her felonies instead of facing the consequences of a simple traffic stop.
