That’s hilarious, I like stars.
Lets chase cars who don’t yield for tail light or brake light out. What a ridiculous mess: risking everyones lives including the deputies for a brake light is absolutely crazy. Find something real to do you welfare-pension sucking county employees! Is this Sheriff Matt Kendall fighting the Cartel? Insane loss of priorities.
Failure to stop. DUI ? Heroin ? Felon with firearms ? Maybe a ex-girlfriend in the trunk ?
Sure… let them go !
Run from the cops.you get chased. Glad they did, hope they get em. The ridiculous mess is covelo itself.
Those who flee generally have something bigger than a dead taillight to worry about, probably well worth pursuing.
Straight up, Bozo
MH, suspect was driving on a suspended license w/ a felony warrant.
Damn right they’re not gonna just turn the other cheek.
or, the cops could just give up the chase, so that anytime you get lit up you can just run, knowing the cops wont’ chase you…BTW, it wasn’t just for brakes lights…he has a felony warrant
