Insurers force change on police departments long resistant to it

27. It's about damn time

I know that in the late '70s, literally a couple months after my mom bought a new car, there was a police chase in the neighborhood - and this was in the middle of winter with snow/ice still riddling the streets, and one of the police cars slammed into the side of her car which was parked in front of her house. Her insurance covered it but they had to duke it out with the city for the reimbursement.

Just their conduct in general has cost municipalities millions and millions of tax payer money in settlements... Yet the problem persists.
