Do car chases not happen in any other state?

California has more traffic copters and freeways...therefore car chase coverage is especially good.

Runner-up is Florida, I think, because of the good weather and easy visibility from the air.

Car chases are a Fox specialty. It has nothing to do with conservatism, of course, but everything to do with ratings.

Yeah- they probably do...heheh...but California always has dramatic ones...and Fox always covers em.

They just stopped covering it cause of a fog bank - the chopper can't fly into it.

We had a chase in Pittsburgh last week involving a stolen dirt bike. The idiot had successfully gotten away from the police, they stopped pursuit and 5 minutees later the guy ran into a parked truck and died.

"Do car chases not happen in any other state?"

We have Direct TV (I live in Ohio) and we get our local news plus the East and West coast feeds.

I hardly ever watch any Network news or any of their local news feeds but If I do surf over to one of them nine times out of ten when I get to the California local news I see a car chase.

The running Joke around here is they are all relatives of OJ.
