[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2911158, member: 1132"] This is exactly why her decision to pursue him to the vehicle was tactically unsound. There was another logical decision. When managing an unknown contact who is refusing to obey a lawful order, your best bet is to buy time. The correct application of the OODA loop would be to create space and gain cover, which also buys time to add additional reinforcements, shore up your tactical position, possibly add firepower in the form of a long gun, etc. Officers routinely get tunnel vision on the detention, when in many cases that increases the risk to the officer and suspect. If this guy got in his truck and drove off, what crimes has he committed? Blocking the orderly flow of traffic by parking in the middle of the road? Interference with an officer in the performance of their duties? If so, are either of those felonies? Even if he drove off, she'd still have to develop probable cause for a moving violation. I think in this case a review of Title 21 would be instructive (Title 47 for motor vehicle laws).
