So from time to time, I'll read an article in my local newspaper about a policeman who loses control of his patrol car during a high speed chase and hits a bystander or runs into a piece of property or whatnot.
What would you say to those people that are injured as a result of the police chase? I think the real question here was whether, as a policy matter, we want to encourage police chases for low-level offenses. Clearly, the Supreme Court found that we want to encourage police chases, but I'm not sure it is the best policy, especially given the technology that is available today.
