What will be an ideal response?
A police pursuit with a vehicle occurs when a police officer initiates a traffic stop or house check, the target of the stop or check flees in a vehicle, and the police give chase. This is a controversial use of force because innocent bystanders can be hurt or killed in the pursuit and also because evidence indicates that excessive force may be more likely to occur at the end of a chase. In an attempt to reduce chase problems, police agencies have responded with hot pursuit policies that establish a continuum that indicates when a pursuit is appropriate.
