Reply to comment by TheHollywoodKnight in White BMW going 100+ weaving through traffic on 91N in Rocky Hill, state cop did nothing.. I’m so over it by JuiceOld5801

All he has to do is get their license plate.. it's a crime to flee

If the cops won't do their jobs, we should stop paying them

The license plate number just shows who the car is registered to. It doesn’t prove who was driving it. That’s not going to be enough.

All the cop has to do is observe the situation. He doesn't have to pursue. His word identifying the driver is admissible evidence. And the fleeing driver will be in deep shit, because not only were they driving recklessly, they fled.

The fleeing driver isn’t going to be in any trouble because the trooper can’t chase him and therefore can’t get close enough to make a visual identification of him.
