After seeing some of these chases, there are points where they could be run off the road or possibly taken out but a gun. To let them drive recklessly through public streets is the greater danger to the public. The driver literally has a weapon of mass destruction.
Slim chance. If you have ever been to Buffalo Grove, you would know that the area is one big suburb after another, with houses and businesses just yards from the street curb. Even spike strips would be dicey because of all the vehicular traffic.
