What if someone tries to dodge him and hits a tree, car, etc.
Or what if the kid on the atv runs over a pedestrian or even a child on a bike.

That's exactly why the cop should have backed off. The pursuit only endangered other and for what? Crossing a public street! Whoopie!

It's just like the car chases. If they back off a little, the suspect usually descreases their speed.
Not saying let him go. Again the risk of a chase should outweigh the risk of letting the suspect go. Not true crime was committed up to that point. He's was not a threat to the public until he panicked and ran.

My whole point put better than I have been able too thus far.
Do not let him get away with the crime but use appropriate force and realize when the force out weighs the crime and use other measures.

Cops couldn't have been that close or they would have ended up in the drink as well. Like someone said earlier hindsight is 20 20. Would have should have could have. Anyone hates to here when a young one dies, me included. I feel for the officers as well, watching someone die and being unable to help due to lack of equipment not by choice is devastating to them and something they will have to live with for the rest of their lives. People will always hold them under a microscope over the situation and their decisions. If they believed their was thin ice they would not have ventured out on the ice to begin with. What better place to pursue someone, on an open playing field. Anyway if the person would not have run(that is for criminals to do) this would have all been avoided all together. Yes the person did break the law,albeit minor. The way it sounds on this forum alot of people run. WHY? Drive where you are allowed to drive and would be no problems. Doing this gives more ammo for the anti ATVers. Recently in Ontario they amended the off road vehicles act. They now allow anyone that has a drivers license to drive on roadways in Ontario with an atv. You have to follow the rules of the road, and reduced speed. Same legislation that covers snowmobiles in the winter. You are not flying up major roadways, but to get fuel, crossing roads etc. it is allowed. Maybe if you have clubs that could lobby for something similiar in your neck of the woods, people would not be obliged to run and would saves lives like mentioned above. This in turn would keep cops persuing and catching real criminals. Remember alot of cops and law enforcement personnel are also atvers and would like to keep the sport safe. If you go to a search site like yahoo or google look up Ontario off road vehicle act if interested. This could have also saved the above life if their was no infraction to begin with.

the only thing they did wrong with that legislation, is the 20km/h thing. it should be that we can go up to the speed limit if we see fit, but not more than that, but one step at a time i guess
