Crimes in European capitals continue to grow by leaps and bounds, and that is why local law enforcement must be fully employed in some extreme situations. This is precisely the case of a Gendarmerie officer, the protagonist of a police chase through the streets of Paris Truly like a movie.
Is a police chase like this worth it?
As expected after the video was published, there have been many who have questioned the officer’s stubborn work. While it is their duty to enforce the law, one wonders if it is worth risking so much in such a police chase. Because you only have to see the images of the recording to be aware that something very serious could have happened, precisely as a result of the speeds reached during the recording.
Furthermore, we must not ignore the stressful and dense traffic that circulates through the streets of a city the size of the French capital. Added to all this are two other determining factors throughout this frenetic police chase: Firstly, it is night, with what this entails in terms of visibility, making it even more difficult for the dedicated law enforcement officer.
Likewise, we have the fact that in addition to cars, motorcycles, trucks, buses, etc., there were also countless pedestrians walking in the vicinity where the event took place. In fact, we can see how some of them are at that moment crossing a pedestrian crossing, trying to get into their car or getting out of someone else.
Of course, one wonders what would have happened if during this police chase the officer had ended up running over one of them. Of course we take for granted the risk that he ran of ending up in an accident with another vehicle, and even falling to the ground due to the conditions of the asphalt at that time, a result of the nocturnal humidity that is generated in the Parisian capital.
In any case, the agent ends up hunting the criminal and after him, more reinforcement operations arrive and lend a hand in subduing the subject. We do not know what the legal consequences will have been for the latter, but at least he has been lucky enough to “be able to tell it” because, like his pursuer, he could have ended up much worse than he did.
