I don't get this ruling at all. If the police witness you violating a traffic law they usually come up behind you and turn on the lights or siren to pull you over. If I understand this ruling then if you take off like a bat out of hell and hit someone then the police are liable. After all the officer has to pursue you in order to first try to give you the ticket.
All the traffic violator has to say is "I didn't know he wasn't pursuing me, he pulled up behind me very fast and flashed his lights and siren so I took off".
