'It's giving free rein to drivers who don't stop' - new garda policy under fire as many car chases now being abandoned

Reports have surfaced from various locations across Ireland, indicating that many gardaí were instructed to refrain from pursuing vehicles that failed to stop, highlighting a significant operational concern within the police force.
