The case centered on a high-speed chase that ended with the deaths of the fleeing driver and his passenger. The decision, written by Justice Samuel Alito Jr., considered the precedent established in Graham v. Connor that considers the perspective of a reasonable officer on the scene and ruled that the suspects outrageously reckless driving posed a grave public safety risk. The ruling in Plumhoff v. Rickard recognizes the extreme threat to public safety posed by reckless drivers and says the Fourth Amendment allows the use of deadly force to stop them. The Supreme Court determined that the suspect vehicle and its driver posed a clear threat, and shooting to end that threat was both practical and appropriate, said Dr. Bill Lewinski, executive director of the Force Science Institute." What I figured. Whether it is shooting the driver or purposely crashing them and killing them or etc. Police have the justifiable and legal means to end the chase. --- Xbox Live User Name - Corrik Currently playing: Spider-Man (PS4), Quantum Break (X1) ...
