A court opinion clarifies when peace officers may exceed speed limits during pursuits. To convict of manslaughter with a vehicle, the state must prove unlawful conduct beyond a reasonable doubt and reckless disregard for others. An emergency driver is liable for negligence if due regard for safety is ignored. If an officer acts wantonly and reckless in a fatal chase, arrest for manslaughter could be justified, but officers are acting to uphold laws. The opinion defends high speed pursuits as necessary given officer training and situational judgment.
