Video won't play, but the article doesn't mention stop sticks.  Also says that the chase was off and police cars were a distance away when the bad guy wrecked.  So what are we talking about?

My old agency got into a pursuit, and as they were going into a city, the city agency was kind of enough to lay out spike strips..

Well after seeing lights approaching, city officer deployed spikes, getting one of suspects tires.  Said officer jumped into his unit and took off pursuing the suspect leaving his spikes in the roadway

Took out all 4 tires of the primary officers unit, 1 of secondary unit and 3 of motorist driving before county units removed the cities spikes.......  Thank God no one was hurt including the motorist, but the city got to pay for 8 tires...

This is kind of a tough one.

On one hand, can the cops really be expected to foresee this kind of thing? What exactly does their policy say on the deployment of stop sticks?

On the other hand, the one witness did have a point. The cops probably could have backed off sooner, and let the bird work. The helicopter would have had no problem tracking these guys, they were in a fucking wood grained PT Cruiser for crying out lout.

I'm 99% positive they backed off because there were stop sticks ahead, not because they were worried about public safety.

Ok, got it to work.  Makes no sense.  If they called off the chase, why was anyone ahead of the fleeing vehicle with stop sticks?  No point in deploying those if no one is close for the end of the thing.  If the guy wrecked on his own, whatever.  If he wrecked on his own, on purpose, but after sticks, department will pay some money.

As a LE helicopter pilot, I can assure you that we (the air unit) lose people all the time.  It should never be assumed that just because a helicopter is involved in the chase, that there's no way the bad guy will get away.  It's just not that easy.

Cops are in a damned if they do, damned if they don't situation.  Should they just let a car-jacking suspect get away?  What if the suspect also shot and killed someone--how about then?  It's a question each agency asks themselves when they write, or re-write their pursuit policy.  Ours changed years ago when a chase of a stolen vehicle resulted in the death of a teenager who was riding in a van who just happened to be in town for a little league game.  After that, violent forcible felonies only. The bad part about a car chase is that it nearly always ends in a crash--either the suspect, the cops, innocent motorists, or all three.  I don't know what the answer is.

Im not a cop and I dont think they are infallable (sp?) But what should they do? The chopper alone wont catch the individuals.  The cop that smoked that guy in Ohio probably prevented a situation like this only taking out the guy with an open gin bottle and hes charged as a criminal.  These guys are trying to stop a pursuit, its on the criminals terms he's leading it, and people say this resolution is the cops fault.  Ok just let them all go they will probably get tired of getting away with it and quit.

"Backed off" is correct term, but not "trailing".  It is advisable to increase the distance between the suspect vehicle and the pursuit vehicle when approaching the deployment location.  It is easily done by coming of the gas a bit opening the gap between the suspect and pursuit vehicle.

In Nebraska (and only Nebraska has this statute) the police (government subdivision that employes them anyway) are liable for all damage caused during a police pursuit.  Third party's car gets hit, police pay.  Third party's fence gets driven through, police pay.  Passenger in the vehicle being chased gets hurt when they crash, police pay.  The only exception is if you can show that the passenger in the vehicle being pursued actively participated and encouraged the driver to flee.

Oh, and as far as calling off the pursuit.  Unless there is a significant amount of time and distance involved between the police shutting off the lights and sirens and whatever event lead to the damage, police are still gonna pay.
