In lengthy conversations that I've had with law enforcement, is it my understanding that if a rider runs across country, they do not pursue. -At least our local sheriff is not in the habit of doing so.
They have to catch them on the road.
It is one of law enforcements chief frustrations around ORVers is that they see the cops and run. -and not to stir up bad feelings but I think Allen described in detail how he would hypothetically evade the police if they came to cite him.
I understand that was hypothetical but a lot of riders do just that. -and the cops are mad. They do not employ the tactics we see on the TV shows. -I don't know why. Although many deputies have told me that it's a liability issues. It's too dangerous for the rider and dangerous for the cop to have a pursuit situation. Their superiors won't allow it.
