I’ll take that over giving thugs a license to steal and flee.
Easy to say when it’s not you who have been hit by a police car or have had a police car drive through the front of your store.
This is just a guess, but I think that if you were struck by a police car who went out of a control in a high-speed chase and wound up in a wheelchair—or worse—I doubt your first reaction would be, “well, thank goodness we didn’t let that guy run from a $75 speeding ticket.”
