What about people who just run at the first sign of flashing lights and get into accidents without the police actually pursuing them? Should the police be held liable then too? Couldn't the person who ran argue that they didn't know the police weren't chasing them?
This is a stupid ruling that punishes police for doing their job. The police shouldn't be held responsible for some asshole deciding that he'd rather endanger the people around him than get a ticket. I understand wanting to make sure that victims are taken care of, but that doesn't change where the responsibility lies for injuries caused by running from the police.
