CHP Headquarters

Thank you CHP Officer Tim for stopping on Hwy 50 tonight to help me. I had my baby with me (and I’m super pregnant) and your help made a bad situation easier to deal with. From cutting my tow wait time in half to making is feel safe, you went above and beyond what I expected. I wish I asked for your last name, but I wanted to say thank you. You’re a great person and very much appreciated.

I have 31 yrs. LEO experience. Has anyone in CHP given some thought of a better
And safer way to stop a fleeing vehicle on a freeway?
First, Helicopter used should have as much light weight bullet proofing as can,
Next, it should be equipped with a 20×20 ft. Heavy duty tarp, lined on all perimeter
With small, strong magnets. Then, this must be mounted underneath chopper so it
Can be released to fall, then pilot, as close as safe in hight over fleeing vehicle will
Release tarp over top and windshield to engine area, making it impossible for the
Criminal to see to drive. Ground units can then make arrest…
Secondarily, a possible second method may be to research a quick sticking liquid
Not possible to see through and spray it on windshield from lowest elevation safe.
Believe tack strips, etc. Have not proven as effective as they are supposed to be.
Good luck, you are doing a great job, and stay as safe as you can!
