#Washington #pursuit #laws #change #criminals #big #surprise
In an historic move, the Washington State Legislature has approved Ballot Initiative 2113 giving police officers more leeway to pursue suspects if there is a reasonable suspicion that a person has violated the law.
Currently, officers can only initiate a pursuit if they have a reasonable suspicion that a person in the vehicle is committing or has committed a violent offense, a sex offense, a vehicular assault offense, a domestic violence offense, an escape, or is driving under the influence.

criminal lawyer , Washington pursuit laws change, criminals in for big surprise, the-spotlight,news,wa,police-chase,pierce-county,pursuit-laws,theft,legislature
Fake eyelashes. Fake health issues. Fake appointments. Fake tears. Fake parent. Fake judge.
100% correct … Judges need to be PERSONALLY Liable for the crimes those they release commit.
The kid will carjack again and eventually meet a conceal carry driver and get street justice.
Voters are at fault.
Watson should be recalled.
Judge is absolutely ridiculous ! We don’t a judge like her ! Fire her , she wasn’t elected ! When the judicial system doesn’t uphold the law , vigilante are made ! We the people give up our rights to equal justice “ eye for an eye” in exchange for judges to do what has to be done and is necessary ! Judges seem to forget that ! If a judge furthers victims pain and allows lawbreakers to continue breaking laws to protect us , than we citizens out of necessity take the law into our own hands and convict criminals behind closed doors or alleys !
Then that KID should have behaved and the so called mother should have kept a better watch on her child. That boy should be in jail and mental health.
Big surprise…Criminals don't care.
Hurrah for pierce county!!! I would live in there vs Seattle any day!!!
Seattle sucks. At least pierce does their best to protect the people who live there and hired so many experienced officers when Seattle defuned them and pulled their teeth to actually do their jobs!!!
Watson shouldn't be a judge WOW WHAT A TERRIBLE JUDGE!!!!
Until the courts start holding people responsible for their actions, the numbers of irresponsible people will continue to increase. It will get to the point of vigilance will be the order of the day.
Hoochi Mama raised the standard criminal…
The only way the judge will understand is if it happens to her.
Commissioner Karen Watson is a great example of everything that's wrong w/ our criminal justice system! FFS!
As for the new law allowing police to chase suspects, as soon as a few chases end in serious injury or death to innocent bystanders, the same useless politicians who supported the new law — will blame police and change the law back — just watch!
This judge should be prosecuted.
That judge should be ashamed of herself and disbarred. Her politics convolute her judgement.
this is why you vote for republicans and not democrats, fr
Trump says he is going to dump all these ,despicable judges, no doubt they are ultra lefties.
Im impressed that this was actually an excellent and informative news story. Great job by the reporter. Now Karen Wateon should be charged and thrown in jail for a long, long time. Shes looking right at a dude who was SHOT IN THE FACE AND LOST HIS EYE BY THE KID
Every legal citizen has the authority of law enforcement as a constitutional right and duty. That includes protection from corrupt judges.
Yup, seems their liberal, progressive policies are back firing. Good luck with that buffoons.
Vote blue and the joke's on you.
Justice has failed us Vengeance needs to take its place
So they put the victim next to the suspect family. Everything is wrong with this picture
4:55 So he didn’t try to kill anybody for 2 months so let him out. The mother is lying because she knew she had a Liberal judge and wouldn’t check. These Soft on crime Democrat judges need to go.
Careful who you vote for , you get the government you elect.
Wow smh he attempted to kill someone and let him out!!!smh the problem is our judges and DAs smh weak af
Public safety will be at risk surprise innocent lives will die
The prisons are full of dangerous out of control males raised by single mothers.
That kid does not have a heart more like heartless
Great, so now not only the criminals are driving like idiots but now we'll have 20 cops in their cars putting everybody on the road at risk. Cops hurt more people driving like idiots than anything else.
That commissioner is reckless, she should be removed immediately from the bench
Democrats voted against it …another example of Biden‘s lying saying that crime is down. It’s only down because they’re not going after the criminals and when they do find get they let them go. Therefore the stats show there is less crime? Total BS.
What's the judge's address?
