Great to see Snoqualmie Police making traffic stops not great to see “Due to state law, the officer was unable to pursue the subject.” We know who to blame for this situation!
Also glad to see our police performing traffic stops and GOOD to see a police chase was not performed which would have put many innocent lives in danger in order to pursue a suspected non-violent criminal.
You’re right. It’s GOOD to know that criminal is still on the streets waiting to commit another crime, and another crime, and another crime… potentially putting many lives at risk. And when he does, let’s just hope it’s not violent and against someone you know.
