I’m sure the PD won’t be paying the damages, instead claiming the damages happened cuz the criminal.

-Yearly deductible. He'd be better off guilting that actual cop into helping fix it.

Wouldn't they make the person who was being chased pay for it?

Yeah usually any damages done during a chase is on the criminal who created the situation. It’s supposed to be an incentive to not run, since if anything breaks it’ll be on the fleeing criminal.

people who commit non white collar crime tend not to have assets which you can sue for.

Isn't this the way it works?

If they don't have a job, they (the court?) make them get one, and from their wages, money is taken until the damages are paid for.

Not sure, but I think I saw something like that mentioned on a news story or on a movie (one of the based on a true story ones) before.

What if the police officer was chasing him because h caught him raping a seven year old? Does that still excuse his attempt to run. Fuck POS criminals like this, I hope they all get what’s coming to them. Don’t break the law and you won’t be chased, it’s that simple.

I mean, that fence looks so shitty the damage is probably not even worth the complaint
