Description
The bill to give police the authority to chase after more suspects has the endorsement of Governor Jay Inslee.
“I think we need to move this needle. I think that’s where the public is. That’s where I am,” said Inslee, (D) Washington, “I hope the house will carefully consider it, and pass it.”
Senate Bill 5352 would expand the list of crimes that could result in police pursuits.
It passed out of the senate only hours before a cutoff deadline.
Under a law passed in 2021, police can only chase after suspects in sexual or violent crimes or escapees, and only with probable cause a crime had been committed.
