right to speed up his machine in the
pursuit of law violators. In order to
make the proposition clear in the
minds of the motor vehicle owners
City Attorney c. E. Gilmore stated
to The Free Press, quoting from
supreme court decision, that a po-
liceman is not chargeable with 9
violation of the state motor vehicle
act, while he is in pursuit of law
breaker, even II he operates his mo-
ter vehicle in manner prohibited
by the state law.
The word police patrol wagon
as given in the state law was held
TO include motor cycles, when oper
ated by the police, when patro,lins
the streets and highways. A peace
officer, however in the pursuit of a
law breaker is required to observe
the care which reasonable govern
ed man would exercise in the dis
charge of his official duty.
