Legislative action is needed now to curb deadly police vehicle pursuits

Legislative action is needed now to curb deadly police vehicle pursuits. Another death resulting from a police pursuit occurred on Maryland’s roadways, this time in Talbot County after sheriff’s deputies tried to initiate a traffic stop on July 22. Following the April deaths of three innocent third parties killed in separate crashes where police chased suspects fleeing in motor vehicles, Attorney General Anthony Brown called for a statewide standard with clear guidelines that would enhance safety and reduce fatalities.
