Kristie's Law

Families of victims and surviving victims
share their stories

Too often the victims left behind -- to bury their loved ones or care for loved ones who can no longer care for themselves because of permanent injuries -- are told that not enough innocent people are killed or injured in these dangerous police vehicular pursuits to merit policy changes. We are then told one of the greatest myths of all regarding police chases: "If we don't chase, someone else might get killed," negating that innocent people do get killed. ... And, families of innocent victims of pursuit quickly learn that it's a person -- not a number.


Families share their stories (Most recent pursuit stories are first.)
