I find it hard to believe that anybody is
that stupid. There must be a method in her madness. Perhaps this is one of those things where a policy is put into place with the knowledge that it will be diobeyed, just for liability reasons. Maybe that's why she didn't want to talk about it....
Or perhaps the town is uniquely suited to pursuit with patrol cars, with lots of open space.
I have a feeling that its' the former. If so, it indicates that a lot of officers are faking or exaggerating injuries sustained while in pursuit. She may just be trying to discourage them from doing that.
