What is going on?

Yes, but were they aware of his identity before they had decided not to pursue him?
They pretty much must have been, then or immediately afterwards, because they were able to serve him with a summons for the incident.

I'm of the personal opinion that high-speed chases aren't warranted under any circumstances.
.45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly

Oh well, if he showed you the middle finger then he deserves the death for sure... :laugh:

What if he nearly ran me over on the footpath while escaping and when I yelled at him he showed me the finger...the middle finger that is?

You're right, such a course of action wouldn't give the scumbag enough time to think over his actions. Pliers and a blowtorch all the way! Bike thieves, aaargh (15 years and I still miss my LC350 :-( )

Its not but anyone stupid enough to risk riding a bike without a helmet doesn't deserve much, if any, sympathy for an injury suffered directly because of that.

He was due to attend court. So I suspect, only suspect, note, that they might already have had his details. :)

Scrap the roadkill of the street when the guy crashes in another car.
Watched code never compiles.

Yeah I get that, but as I read it he crashed and burned a few days later - not directly as a result of the police not chasing him, or am I reading that wrong?
You are correct on that point.

They obviously need to hire a competent marksman.

The late, unlamented was not wearing a helmet... Stupidity cannot be cured with money, or through education, or by legislation. Stupidity is not a sin, the victim can't help being stupid. But stupidity is the only universal capital crime; the sentence is death, there is no appeal, and execution is carried out automatically and without pity. -- Lazarus Long

A man killed in a motorbike crash in south Manchester was a suspected thief who police previously refused to pursue because he was not wearing a helmet. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-11211260[^] "At the time, Greater Manchester Police said it followed a nationwide policy that motorbikes should not be pursued because of the higher risk of injury to the rider." Unbelievable! Everyone gets their just desserts so thank goodness some higher power intervened on behalf of our considerate police force and their overlord's crass instructions.
He took it all too far, but boy could he play guitar!
Car chases aren't allowed in Florida unless there is imminent risk of bystander injury. From what I hear the cops get your tag and then let you go. They will come knocking in the morning when you sober up.

The hand wringing liberals who are upset at the thought of death being an inappropriate sentence for a minor crime need only to realise that the his death was the punishment for the highest crime of all, Stupidity. We all celebrate it when we read the Darwin Awards.
