We must hunt them down!

And if a few innocent people get killed?  Well, that the price of doing business, ain't it?



Maybe if the police force wasn't being used as a revenue stream (as is seen by a lot of citizens) but rather an actual force looking out for our good people wouldn't fear them enough to run?

Of course there will always be those who run...but hoping that the guy witht he broken tail-light is also a heroin dealer so they chase him at high speeds doesn't seen like a good risk / reward ratio to me.

Like mentioned, they aren't being chased for a broken taillight, they are being chased because they decided to speed off.  Who takes off because they are being pulled over for a tail light or speeding? 

I'm not saying there isn't anything that should be done.  If you get the license plate etc, maybe you can let it go and get them later, but I still come back to fleeing the police for a minor offense, and who would do that?  Do people run because of minor secondary crimes like a joint in the car?
