He has a long arrest record, yet the police allowed him to drive away in a ‘bait-car’, hit and kill and innocent women.
I agree with his arrest record and criminal activities he should have long since been gone to either south of the border or prison.
However I doubt the police knew that was him driving the bait car.
How hard is it to drop the drive-shaft? lock the transmission? lock the brakes? Any number of ways to keep the car from moving once it is started? This guy broke in the car, wired it to start, and started it. That is all you need for an arrest. Dallas PD should be charged in the mistake.
