“If cops are required to quit chasing cars, more criminals will run from the police, and thumb their noses as they do.”
Numerous cities have established no chase or limited chase options and the world didn’t end.
Perhaps its the thumbing their nose part that you take issue with.
I WORKED in a medium sized city in Texas, and our next-door sister city did implement a no-chase policy. I know the effects of this perceived policy on crime and criminals’ knowledge and capitalization on such policies. They become very flagrantly defiant. And dangerous.
