Reply to comment by coocookuhchoo in Carjacking at Union Station this Morning. Victims chased suspect to 7th and H NE and suspect bailed. by Swampoodle1984

The thing is usually the groups are known by any decent officer and detective. You know where the car will most likely turn up at. The issue is 1 arresting a juvinile os a waste of time because nothing is done and 2 when they flee you are better off to let it go because they will kill themselves or someone else

For felonies they can (fresh carjacked vehicle) I just wouldn’t recommend it if I was them risk isn’t worth catching them

This, especially after a DC jury gave that police officer life in prison because the felon he was chasing drove into oncoming traffic and got himself killed

I think it’s only for ongoing violent crimes - a call about a carjacked vehicle I dint think so

Correct but if the carjacking happens very recently like within 2 hrs it will be authorized, or of course shootings/homicide but again very limited time frame
