No longer will the police have to justify high-speed police chases with the reasonable belief that the driver is suspected to have committed a “violent crime.” Today, the mere fact that a car is reported as stolen will justify a high-speed chase down Louisville city streets, putting countless other motorists and pedestrians at great risk of death.
