The Washington Post editorial board slammed Washington D.C.'s current police pursuit policies, claiming they're 'too restrictive' and allow for the current rise in the crime.
The Washington Post editorial board criticized Washington, D.C.’s new 'too restrictive' police pursuit policies that residents claim are allowing carjackers to get away with their crimes at higher rate than ever before. The piece declared that D.C.’s new effective ban on police chases 'went too far' and as a result carjacking in the nation’s capital has doubled since last year. The board began its piece with the example of the misfortune of D.C.
The second-worst is the 1st District, around the Capitol, where the carjackings against both Ms. Traub and Mr. Cuellar occurred.' UBER DRIVER FROM IRAQ SURVIVES SUV SPRAYED WITH BULLETS IN DC, SAYS CITY IS LIKE A WAR ZONE: ‘GOD SAVED ME’ The carjacking epidemic has become so bad, that 'the D.C. Council passed emergency legislation this summer to adopt a slightly more permissive standard for police pursuits,' though The Post argued the standard is still not good enough.
