The police have every right to pursue anyone they way, and they obviously did in this case. The law clearly hasn't stopped pursuits in Nebraska, it's just opened the police up to civil liability because of them. Do you see any evidence that the police are curtailing pursuits because of it?

I guess that you're all for leaving those injured in the wake of a police chase destitute and bankrupt.
