The Deputy has no constitutional right to detain a fleeing passenger from a motor scooter. Check your law book Deputy, that has been ruled on over and over by the courts. And be lucky you don't get your butt sued!
ReplyDeletethose scooters are now all over the 'hood. no tags, no helmets, no regard for safe driving. they should be banned!
ReplyDeleteBe glad he did pursue after the passenger because if he didn't this person who was wanted for attempted murder may still be out there maybe in your neighborhood 11:54. You must be a liberal.
