Cops initiating a Blue Light run before chasing a potential suspect?

Josh Wrote:The general outcome was the same as it's ever been - To catch up with a suspect, you may use strobes and audio siren, but no visual siren.

Hmm with that logic you can not use visual sirens since the chase has started. So pulling somebody over with visual sirens would not work with that.

To me catching up with a suspect is part of a chase and you should be allowed to use visual sirens. The only difference is that you haven't been able to type !chase yet.

On a Sidenote: These situations happen from time to time and i understand that these grey areas exist, but can we not create unwritten rules that only a small part actually knows about.
