The photo and report are from Sean in Admiral:
My truck was stolen again. It’s been seen several times in West Seattle. The driver won’t stop so there’s nothing police can do. If someone sees it parked, please call police. It was stolen on Tuesday and reported same day. 1992 Nissan pickup B27758P. Police report number – 23-322544.
Wait, what? The police cant stop someone in a stolen vehicle?! This must be the quintessential Seattle rule?
They can *stop* them … if the driver chooses to stop. Unless there is a much higher level crime involved, they cannot *pursue* – chase – them.
Mind Boggling—I have to take high pressure pills after reading the comment.
It’s sad…I had to go down to Columbia City 3-4 months ago for some training. Coming home I was passed by a vehicle while setting @ the light to turn left. The car was probably going 60mph as it passed me on the left side, running through the red light .Police in pursuit, and they stopped the chase…I want police to make every effort to stop these people, without putting innocent people in danger…

For the record, it was surprisingly difficult to report this to the SPD. The non-emergency number tells you to report it online; then the website tells you to call the non-emergency number. Sigh…
Sorry, comment time is over.
