they need to learn what the law does back home in usa , how to do pit manouvers without creating massive crashes an have a electronic device that when locked on to target shuts down the whole car like a EMP that can be mounted to dash of chase car,lve been slammed into by a cop car chasing a crim an the worst part was he was trying to get a head of the crim in a service lane. out come my car was ridden of an the cop left with broken leg an massive injuries. an l was backing out of drive way onto the road that was divided from the main road in melb ages ago.
really in the end you run you die if unlucy or somebody else is killed.
police can drive yes but need to learn just that liltle bit more l beleive in the pitt manouvers as using spikes are just as dangerous the fool being chased

How can people say nothing good comes from them? media wise we normally only hear about the ones that go wrong and end up with a fatality or newsworthy accident. There would be a lot more that we average citizens do not hear about, the ones where a crim has been taken into custody.
I used to work in a dealership that serviced the local TOG cars, we would service those cars every 5000 klms or after every pursuit they would have to have a full safety inspection, we would see these cars possibly every second week after a chase, stuff that never made the news, but still a high speed pursuit.

Give the coppers a bit more control.
Flashing lights,sirens = pull over. if the vehicle speeds up `pit` it straight away.
( safely of course ) , too many innocent people getting MURDERED ( yes I highlighted that for a reason. )
Change can only start from the top but I aint opening that can.

Well it looks like the AFF keyboard warriors are sharpening their pitchforks, bleaching their sheets and coiling their hanging ropes yet again.
