Crusader argued that the police "enticed" the kid to speed away. The kids got into the car KNOWING it was illegal (assuming they didn't borrow the car which I doubt they did). I somehow doubt they were innocent little babes who thought Grandma was magically going to appear behind the wheel at midnight.
If you want to argue that it is yet another mere coincidence that the kids ran from the cops at the same time the media saturates us with cop chases, I'll argue that if television doesn't influence behavior then why do corporations spend billions on advertising on it?

I didn't even read the rest of your post yet. Now I will and see if any of it applies to me.

Ban TV, that will solve the "influence" problem.
