The Legislature has finally compromised on giving police more flexibility to pursue a fleeing suspect, says TheDaveRoss.
He wanted to point out that there’s new technology that makes it possible to pursue suspects WITHOUT a high-speed chase.“StarChase is a GPS enabled technology, which allows an officer to tag a vehicle then back off,” explained Lowe. “We virtually monitor the speed direction location of the vehicle. When that vehicle comes to a stop, we are then able to safely approach and take the suspect into custody. Thus, I won’t say eliminating the need for pursuit, but minimizing pursuits.
But I don’t see anything that says an unmarked police car equipped with the StarChase system can’t calmly follow the stolen car, so that the officer can take aim and push the button that fires the sticky StarChase homing device that gloms onto the target vehicle and sends out its location and speed every three seconds to a computer map in the police cruiser!And that kind of pursuit is a lot less dangerous, since as Chief Lowe says, the suspect isn’t trying to get away.
“If the crooks learn about it then yes, this is a tool that the Redmond Police Department has available. So the moral of the story is, don’t come to Redmond and commit crime.”
