Hope that poor fellow that got hit is alright. Sucks to have your vehicle likely totaled when you are just going along minding your own business and some reckless loser smashes into you while fleeing instead of facing up to the consequences of her actions. Definitely not a victimless crime here.

I am wondering why our the local governments don’t outfit street sweepers with license plate readers. They could download the information at the end of the shift. The information could then be sent to Law enforcement about any stolen vehicles and vehicles with expired registration parked on the street.

The stoplights in eureka have the same license plate readers.
Just another area where local law enforcements not doing their job.
If you can pay them off you can get them to do anything for you, so if you want them to look for anything stolen give them a private “donation”.
Tho our neighborhood did finally get a response after 6 months of breakins after calling thompson and mcguires offices to complain.

I recently watched a CHP on 101 in Ukiah using his plate scanner to scan every car northbound. He would pull up in the blind spot and hover for a few seconds, then move up to the next car and scan them. Hard to beat the man when he has such impressive tech. Only a murderous fool would try to run.

Gee, I dont know Bushytails, scared of something? I DO know that innocent people ARE killed by idiot criminals like this woman however. Our laws about using vehicles as weapons need to catch up with our other laws.

If the woman had not chosen to flee, and had not chosen to drive recklessly, then the crash would not have happened.

Your license plate can be read by a satellite if they choose to use it.

Why are cops working for insurance co’s now .Car theft should not be a priority .90 mile an hr car chase on the shoulder .The cops caused a deadly situation over a stolen car probably insured for theft .

Um, because vehicle theft is a crime, and the role of law enforcement is to enforce laws.

Who started it?! Seems to me that if you have some one that is a repeated offender and they are told to stop but run … the criminal is the one who started it by their series of bad choices and not obeying the commands to stop. The cop didn’t pull up and say “run m.f or I’ll blow your brains out!” and then the person fled. No… Had the criminal been law abiding, there would not have been a chase.

I think she was thinking that if she was reckless enough they would curtail the chase. Someone is raising her 4 children. What a shame for them. Sad.

She doesn’t have 4 kids, and her daughters are well taken care of by their family. Don’t you worry about that.

Unfortunately public safety aint like it used to be. Mistaken releases from jail, no punishment for missed court dates, lax attitude by liberal judges, complacent police which do “selective enforcement”. This all adds up to a major cluster-uck society. Only criminals would not appreciate the plate scanner. If honest, relax and live an honest life. If a low life puke, the faster to leave this earth the better.
