Eugene Elander, a retired hazard mitigation consultant from New Hampshire and Vermont now living in Georgia, recently wrote an opinion piece for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution in which he lamented what he calls "unwise and unnecessary high-speed police chases in Georgia."
Elander wrote in the near wake of the tragic death of Kathy Porter, the wife of Atlanta Braves trainer Jeff Porter, who was slammed into on New Year's Day by a state police officer who had joined in the chase of a motorcyclist being pursued for a minor traffic violation.
