One situation involved a five-mile car chase through busy roads, where I exceeded normal speed by 20 MPH, but the driver refused to pull over. The roads they took made me realize that they had a destination to reach quickly, not escape. Later, they stopped in front of a residence where an ambulance was waiting. The woman immediately got out of her car and rushed to open the door for paramedics to enter a house that had secured barred windows and doors.
She burst inside before EMTs, trying to locate an occupant alongside paramedics. I followed paramedics inside to assist but became a source of comfort to the woman when paramedics relayed that she had lost her mother. The woman had a massive breakdown, but I was there to support her for over thirty minutes as she wept uncontrollably. When her husband arrived, through sobbing, she tried to apologize for driving erratically. I claimed that I would have acted in a similar way, that she should not expect a ticket that day, and that sometimes traffic laws do not apply.
