Police Officers cannot use deadly force to stop a fleeing felon. However, there are certain exceptions. If the fleeing felon has committed a violent felony and poses a threat to the public of serious bodily injury or death then police officers may use deadly force. A violent felony is murder, rape, mayhem, robbery and in some cases burglary.
