Quote:Let me ask you this.  In this particular case, let's just say that the detective didn't stop the vehicle and it caused a traffic accident involving a fatality.  Is that acceptable?  Should an innocent citizen have to die because the police officer's hand's are tied simply because of the vehicle that he is driving or the clothes that he is wearing?

Let me spin that right back around on you. Let's pretend that the "detective" wasn't actually a detective, and when the other vehicle stopped, he robbed, shot and killed the man. Is that acceptable? Should an innocent citizen have to die because he's legally obliged to pull over for any vehicle with flashing lights, even though there's a chance that it's being driven by an impostor that intends to rob him rather than an actual cop?
