High Speed Chases and Officer Liability Under Iowa Law
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.

Jury selection began Monday in the Ed ward J Stallman murder case.
