Fear makes people do stupid things id say most ppl are young and just freak out over the consquences and think its better to just run, while there is a minority who just don't care and the mandatory sentence won't deter them anyways.

So by their policy they backed off and were doing the right thing in relation to policy.In relation to shooting the tyres or the driver, the car would then totally be out of control. At high speed or even low speed the car would be a wrecking ball taking out anything and anybody until it came to a stop. More people would die if cops were allowed to do this. Road spikes are the way to go in my opinion. Usually they slow the offending vehicle down or the vehicle blows up which usually brings the pursuit to a peaceful end (in terms of injuries).

I think give it six to twelve months and running wouldn't even cross your mind anymore. Edited 21/03/10 10:41 AM by Dillz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More often a stolen car is used for a more serious purpose, not just for the fun of thrashing someone elses car. If we just assume that a stolen car is just that, then we would completely disregard all the other possibilities the car is being used for. Ram raids, home invasions, armed robberies come to mind.Remember the one on the M5 a few months back where the little girl was killed, was because 2 crooks were sticking there shot guns in the face of shop keepers and taking there money.Should have they just allowed them to contine or have all the armchair critics on here got any real ideas?And roadspikes are usless if the police are chasing the car. They cant exactly thrown them out the window, over the front of the fleeing car and hope they land in front of them.And the other re-occurring bright idea of not chasing for minor stuff, makes me wonder in the first place how there spose to know what they have done is minor until there caught. Just cuz there running red lights doesnt mean there just a bad driver.I.B. Edited 21/03/10 10:46 AM by Iconic Bionic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cars are often stolen as proceeds of break and enters. The car is then used for transport of the stolen goods and more often than not to commit another break and enter or offence. Its rare that they just steal them for a joy ride. The people that steal them are criminals and car theft is just one of many offences on their criminal history.
