Burien Police Chief Ted Boe didn't mince words when describing a recent incident where officers witnessed a burglary but legally weren't allowed to pursue the suspects, according to a social media post from the Burien Police Department. Boe said he found himself 'incredibly frustrated' with the restrictions placed on law enforcement by the Washington State Legislature and 10.116.060, which made pursuits by law enforcement difficult to justify. 'I have no doubt the law is well intended,' Boe said.
