It’s also past time for localities to pass the most stringent feasible penalties for all the scumbags who cause these high-speed chases — too many think it’s a lark, and even hope to be on TV.... some places are now forbidding the police from almost any kind of high-speed pursuit, but what they most need to is create penalties so steep that no one would even think of racing away from police. I know that may not help with the people under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, which may be most of the cases, but at least we could throw the book at those bastards. Anyone racing away from police endangers the lives of many and should be charged with felony counts, lose their license (if they even have one) for many years, and face serious jail time.

Absolutely, attempted vehicular homicide seems appropriate in these cases.
