LOS ANGELES – A man in his mid-20s was in custody today and facing charges including car theft and felony evasion after a vehicle pursuit that ended near Los Angeles Police Department headquarters. 
  
 The 22-minute pursuit of the stolen Honda Civic began in West Los Angeles around 10:05 p.m. Thursday and ended with two police cruisers slowing and then stopping the vehicle on West First Street, between City Hall and the headquarters building. 
  
 Broadcast footage of the pursuit showed the Honda being driven on sidewalks and weaving in and out of near-stalled traffic on the northbound lanes of the Harbor (110) Freeway. 
  
 LAPD Sgt. Brian Cook said the vehicle was reported stolen Thursday from San Gabriel. 
  
 Two female passengers were taken into custody at the end of the pursuit, along with the driver. Cook said he did not know if the passengers would be booked as well. ||||| The pit maneuver is a technique used by law enforcement to stop fleeing vehicles with minimal risk to the driver, the police, and the public. The acronym PIT has several possible meanings, including Precision Immobilization Technique, Pursuit Intervention Technique, and Precision Intervention Tactic, though the first of these is the most universally accepted. This technique is most often used to end police-involved car chases quickly and effectively to help reduce danger to the public. 
  
 The technique as it is used today likely originated in Germany, where it was used by German military and law enforcement. Some people believe that it may have been derived from the “bump and run” technique used in professional auto racing. It was first used in the US by the Fairfax, Virginia, police department during the 1970s. While the maneuver is considered a standard technique by most US police forces, it has been banned in the UK and other parts of Europe due to perceived danger. 
  
 During a pit maneuver, the pursuing vehicle pulls up alongside a target vehicle and rides parallel. The pursuing vehicle's front tires should be roughly lined up with the target's rear tires. To execute the move, the driver of the pursuing vehicle steers sharply into the side of the target, which causes the target vehicle to skid. The driver of the target vehicle loses control, and his vehicle is likely to either spin out or come to a stop. ||||| "It's almost comical that it happened to end right in front of our office," Kim said.

– It hasn't been a good week for drivers in LA leading police on high-speed chases. Early yesterday evening, one suspect led cops on a 100mph pursuit through the streets of Hollywood before unsuccessfully trying to escape on foot, the Los Angeles Times reports. Then three other suspects apparently wanted to get in the game, speeding along in a green Honda Civic that had been reported stolen and outmaneuvering cop cars and a police helicopter until they ended up in probably the last place they wanted: right in front of LAPD headquarters on First Street in downtown LA. That's where it all fell apart for the racing rebels. Police pulled a PIT move—that awesome tactic often witnessed on cop TV shows where the squad car drives parallel to the "target" car until it can bang into it and force it to skid out, as per Wise Geek—and the car came to a halt. A male suspect in his 20s was booked on car theft and felony evasion charges, and two female passengers were brought into custody after the 22-minute chase, though it's not clear if they'll face charges as well, the Los Angeles Daily News reports. "It's almost comical that it happened to end right in front of our office," an LAPD officer tells the Times. "I can see it from our window."
Nyhetsartikel: LOS ANGELES – En man i mitten av 20-årsåldern var häktad idag och åtalades för bland annat bilstöld och grovt undandragande efter en biljakt som slutade nära Los Angeles polishögkvarter. Den 22-minuters jakten på den stulna Honda Civic började i West Los Angeles runt 22:05 på torsdag och slutade med två poliskryssare saktar ner och sedan stoppa fordonet på West First Street, mellan City Hall och högkvartersbyggnaden. Sändningsfilmen från jakten visade att Honda kördes på trottoarer och vävde in och ut ur närbelägen trafik på de nordgående körfälten i Harbor (110) Freeway. Polisinspektör. Brian Cook sa att fordonet anmäldes stulet torsdag från San Gabriel. Två kvinnliga passagerare togs i förvar i slutet av jakten, tillsammans med föraren. Cook sa att han inte visste om passagerarna skulle bokas också. •• Depåmanövern är en teknik som används av polisen för att sluta fly fordon med minimal risk för föraren, polisen och allmänheten. Akronymen PIT har flera möjliga betydelser, bland annat Precision Immobilization Technique, Pursuit Intervention Technique och Precision Intervention Tactic, även om den första av dessa är den mest allmänt accepterade. Denna teknik används oftast för att avsluta polisinvolverade biljakter snabbt och effektivt för att bidra till att minska faran för allmänheten. Tekniken som den används idag har troligen sitt ursprung i Tyskland, där den användes av tysk militär och brottsbekämpning. Vissa människor tror att det kan ha härrört från “bump and run” teknik som används i professionell auto racing. Den användes först i USA av Fairfax, Virginia, polismyndighet under 1970-talet. Medan manövern anses vara en standardteknik av de flesta amerikanska polisstyrkor har den förbjudits i Storbritannien och andra delar av Europa på grund av upplevd fara. Under en depåmanöver drar det jagande fordonet upp vid sidan av ett målfordon och rider parallellt. Den jagande bilens framdäck borde vara ungefär uppradade med målets bakdäck. För att utföra draget styr föraren av det jagande fordonet kraftigt in i sidan av målet, vilket får målfordonet att sladdra. Målfordonets förare tappar kontrollen, och hans fordon kommer sannolikt att antingen snurra ut eller stanna. »»Det är nästan komiskt, att det råkade sluta alldeles framför vårt kontor», sade Kim.

- Det har inte varit en bra vecka för förare i LA ledande polis på höghastighetsjakter. Tidigt i går kväll ledde en misstänkt polisen på en 100 km/h jakt genom Hollywoods gator innan han utan framgång försökte fly till fots, rapporterar Los Angeles Times. Sedan ville tre andra misstänkta tydligen komma med i spelet, fortkörning tillsammans i en grön Honda Civic som hade rapporterats stulen och utmanövrering polisbilar och en polishelikopter tills de hamnade på förmodligen det sista stället de ville: precis framför LAPD högkvarter på First Street i centrala LA. Det var där allt föll sönder för de tävlande rebellerna. Polisen gjorde ett PIT-drag – den där grymma taktiken bevittnades ofta i polis-TV-program där polisbilen kör parallellt med "målbilen" tills den kan smälla in i den och tvinga den att sladda ut, som per Wise Geek – och bilen stannade. En manlig misstänkt i 20-årsåldern var inbokad på bilstöld och grovt undandragande, och två kvinnliga passagerare togs i förvar efter 22-minutersjakten, även om det inte är klart om de kommer att åtalas också, enligt Los Angeles Daily News. "Det är nästan komiskt att det råkade sluta precis framför vårt kontor", berättar en LAPD-officer för Times. "Jag kan se det från vårt fönster."
