Tuesday's wild crash on the East Side, in which 10 people were hit by a driver in a stolen car, highlights a growing problem here and across the country. TimMcNicholas found some cities, including Yonkers, are suing car companies.
"It's obviously a massive issue, a massive problem for officers involved, for law enforcement and for the public at large," said David Sarni, an adjunct professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice."For far too long, New York City has lacked a definition for what constitutes a police vehicle pursuit. I have appointed working group to ensure clear and non-duplicative reporting of these encounters.
"Lawsuits filed by municipalities against Kia are without merit. Like all Kia vehicles, the specific models at issue in this case are subject to and comply fully with the requirements outlined in applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, including FMVSS 114 that governs theft protection measures.
"Kia has been and continues to be willing to work cooperatively with law enforcement agencies in Yonkers and the greater NYC area to combat car theft and the role social media has played in encouraging it, and we remain committed to supporting our customers and to vehicle security.
