Ploice should ONLY chase if a violent felony has been committed otherwise it is not worth the risk to the public IMHO

how are they soppost to know what records or warrants may be outstanding on anyone in the car. and fleeing from an officer should be a felony and violent the moment the car is used as weapon

then whats the point of pulling over in the first place... who "wants" to allow themselves the opportunity for a 400 dollar ticket or just the dealing with a cop anyway

Violent felony only..........not just "felony" fleeing from LEOs is BS felony. IMHO.

People killed in chases:

On Average...
• Crashes as a result of police chases and police response calls kill more than one person a day. One-third of the people killed are innocent bystanders.
• On average, these crashes kill one officer every six weeks.
• According to a 2004 Harborview Injury Prevention and Research Center analysis of nine years of national statistics [submitted on a voluntary basis], "One third of these pursuit fatalities occur to innocent bystanders.”

After the Chase...
Most people believe drivers who flee and are caught, go to jail. Not so. In 2008, Indiana State Police superintendent Paul Whitesell stated: If we catch and arrest, the most common sentence is probation, followed by parole or they are released because there is "no room in the inn,” i.e., prison.
