Per "10 News" :
"FHP policy provides specific guidelines to pursuing motorcycles to ensure public safety, which is why Ross disengaged when the motorcyclist fled from the scene."

It's not about letting criminals
get away with it, it's about the fact you're on a busy highway, do really want some jackass cutting off other drivers then potentially end up causing a massive car pile up with possible fatalities.
Then when the officer ends up in court over the pile up and makes the remark, "Well, if I let one of 'em go, I gotta start letting them all go! And I couldn't have that now, could I?" I'm sure every lawyer will agree with him and he'll be let free to go with no consequences.

Here in Austin I've heard an officer once say, "I don't ever try to chase a bike, because you can blink, and they'll be gone".
It would be horrible to cause damage and danger over a toll road fee. Look up the license plate, pursue the owner, if it wasn't them operating, tough sh*t. It's your bike, your responsibility.
Once again, this is just my personal opinion. I don't expect any of y'all to bend over backwards to change your beliefs, just please see that there are more than just one ways to look at a situation.
