34. All the more reason to call for backup
Edited on Sun Sep-03-06 10:15 PM by rocknation
Unless he was unable to because he didn't have a radio in his car, being off duty. Calling 911 on a cell phone would have been preferable to pulling up and claiming you're a police officer--suppose he'd responded by rolling down his window and firing a gun? And the more you chase such a driver, the more likely he his to get in an accident.
