From a little podunk town in Central Alberta. A civilian (dude in the grey GMC pickup) observed a slow speed chase involving the RCMP/police and a stolen tow truck. Dude decides to help out by PIT'ing the stolen vehicle and then blocking it in.

Nice work eh? Where I'm from the GMC driver would be facing charges for that too.
I don't think the cops were impressed but did thank the guy for his help
Stereotypically Canadians are very nice like that. American cops would have shot him first and asked questions if there was time later.
could be a undercover / off duty cop but this still could make a nice truck commercial.
Unless the cops were lying, which has been known to happen, the story is he was a civilian. Truck looks like an early to mid 2000's GMC/Chev, surprised its still running.
With how some cops can be and how the laws are in some places I would have just stayed out of it
For the most part I respect the police and aside from a few examples have always had positive interactions but I'm not going to put myself, or my property, in harm's way in this sort of situation.
I respect what they do but respect is something I usually only give based off of someone's behavior towards me first and I've had enough bad experiences with the police to be wary of them, not to say I'll ever be uncompliant with them (rather not get shot) but I'll always be hesitant to talk to them because i know some of them will already have decided your guilt as soon as they arrive

Curious how his insurance company handled this claim....
I pay them to do the job, not put my hard earned property in the way. And you know, in many cases they are going to blame you for something even though you were being an upright citizen. Why take the chance? Stay the fuck away from the cops if you can. Don’t volunteer.
