No guns dont work on tires and they hurt when they come back at you.

But we do have all these fast and furious F16's and 18's. With even faster and more furiouser lol missiles. It would make fantastic footage for the news and give the boys some real time exersises for terrorist training. Win win really. They finaly get to crush a car (with a bomb) and take a parasite off the streets for good.

The problem is there is no right and wrong answer to stamping out any behaviour, just "more effective" and "less effective" solutions. You will never get rid of some behaviours, however some practices suppress them so that they occur less. To claim not having pursuits would generate better outcomes is pure delusion.

Police pursuits like most things these days would be subject to an on the fly risk assessment, lets face it the procedure must be working because this is the first fatal pursuit I've heard of in forever, and I dare speculate its not the first pursuit since 1968 in Australia, so in my books its a pretty good success rate.

Give the cops a break, its still in reality just as dangerous as any normal day driving on the roads, plenty of idiots running reds without a pursuit in play and plenty of idiots driving without correct qualifications. Hazard of driving unfortunately. I can provide Victorian crash statistics to anybody that wants them.

Lets say there chasing crooks that just broke into and stole from your home or even carjacked your misses. You either want them caught or you dont and no matter how distastefull some outcomes may be, the day when all pursuits are canned is the day the crooks will run rampant.

I.B.

I'm sure most of us wouldn't want the above situation to occur...But I also wouldn't want innocent motorists killed

...but its a situation where your damned if you do and damned if you don't....

Why was this guy running...I hope he committed a serious offence...and wasn't chased for running a red light or something...

well I'm not the one to judge....does a stolen car...require a high speed chase...that's really the question...Fark if I know....

That's the million dollar question I guess...where should the line be drawn.

In my opinion it is warranted, the fact that some scab is driving a stolen vehicle on the road to begin with is inherently unsafe because he's either a) thrashing the fck out of it to get a fix , or b) about to commit a more serious crime with it. Don't think there'd be too many car thieves that would just take their catch for a leisurely drive before returning it.

ram the bastards off the road like the yanks when they drive dangerously and not care about how it affects them ( injury wise ) then they will think twice about it.

I wonder if there would be three innocents alive right now if that was the case.

makes you wonder how an ss and xr6t cant catch a pre 2000 mazda 4cyl 626...

If the cops stayed with the car...maybe the police siren would of stopped the other car from entering...

Sad all round...even the driver of the stolen car.....don't think he wanted to kill a family..

don't know what to say..

Just because it can/can't "catch" it doesnt mean its automatically gonna end the chase? I feel for the cops too they are just doing their duty and now they have to live with the fact that it could have been their fault/they could have stopped it earlyer
