How many result in additional property damage?
Yea, APD is darned if they do and darned if they don't.

No doubt there.


I don't disagree with a no-pursuit policy over property damage or some other petty property theft,especially if the road conditions were bad... You know if they are breaking into cars that they're not going to stop and a pursuit is very risky for all involved, including the public... APD has been run up the pole before for pursuits that lead to public harm.... There is going to be a car crash at the end, which means more property damage.

Austin does have a gang problem. APD has a gang response unit.

Sorry that happened to you, Liberal.
FYI - I run 5 cameras at home. 4 outside one inside. I don't know if they'll help or not, but I hope someone notices.
