Everything is a risk, you have to balance all the risks with the interests of justice.

So you think he just took a risk that backfired then especially as ther driver of the car was not actually speeding to get away because he was innocent.

Unless of course you think thats not something the Police should get involved with. 
If someone drives off from the Police do you think they should be pursued or should the police just sit back and let them go just in case? |
