I see there is some comments thinking the man who was with his girlfriend was the driver. That is not accurate. The driver fled from the crash. The man with his girlfriend were passengers and friends of the driver. The drunk driver was giving them a ride home but got them involved with the chase. Hopefully that clears up any confusion.

It's the litigious society that we live in now. Pursuits are much the same way. if you don't chase a runner, then everyone will run to get away with it. But if you do chase a runner, and they crash and hurt someone, it's the police who get blamed!

So in New Mexico the State Police would rather the drunk driver in a disabled race car get back onto the interstate at 100 mph because that's much safer than pitting the vehicle in a parking lot. Jesus. I wonder, does the driver he struck approve of this silly rule?

It must suck to be the driver of that SUV and know that NMSP troopers had multiple opportunities to protect you from that crash but were actively prohibited from carrying through on the oath they took to lay down their lives to protect yours. It must suck further to know that a DA and Judge who both took an oath to uphold state laws took a fat shit on those laws by releasing the guy who tried to murder you the very next morning, probably with open access to personal information such as who you are, what car you drive, where you live... Add NMSP to the list of deadliest US states, where the criminals want you dead, and the entire judicial system exists only to help them get anything and EVERYTHING they want.

Generally speaking, police departments can dictate their own policies as long as those policies don't contradict the law, so while it's not the fault of the trooper in the driver seat of the car we watch this pursuit from, there are troopers at fault for the fact that NMSP doesn't protect against reckless driving.

Got robbed once at gas station job I had. Midnight shift. Was doing normal cleaning duties, had another worker there, younger, pregnant, she was stocking walk in cooler. Guy came in hoodie on, bandana across lower face. Was white guy, that much I could tell. Pulled a gun out, said this was a robbery, grabbed me by back of work shirt, marched me back behind the one register. Luckily, slow night, only about $100.00 in drawer. Never even asked about 2nd register drawer. Then told me to get the he'll in the back room. So that's where I went till he left the store. I was bawling like that by the time I got back there, legs was shaking. We had to make sure robber still wasn't in store, then go and call 911. They got there like 5 minutes, luckily local police, and state police close by. I went back to work rest of shift and next night. Unlike some others, I didn't miss any work. I know its not the same thing. Would get alot of drunk drivers stop in, I reported them. Just looking out for other drivers is all. But I observed them for a bit first to make sure they were inebriated.
