“Why do crooks drive recklessly running from the cops? Because they’re being chased. “
That’s an assumption. We can prove you wrong by pointing to someone driving recklessly that isn’t being chased. Which happens quite a bit.
If the police are trying to pull me over, I don’t run through a stop sign. Cops pull people constantly and they don’t bust through a stop sign. Therefore, you cannot blame the cops.
We had a case where a cop tried to pull over a motorcyclist. The motorcylist took off and the policeman gave up the chase. The motorcycle wrecked a few miles later doing over 100 mph and he was killed, taking a pedestrian with him. He wasn’t even being chased and someone still died.
So please prove that the guy would not have blown through the stop sign if the cop has given up the chase. We’ll wait patiently while you work that out.

People, especially criminals tend to drive recklessly. However, let's just saying being chased by the police or, more aptly, the *possibility* of being chased by the police tends to make them more antsy.
Criminal behavior is to no small extent dictated by the cops. If car chases become less common so will reckless driving to avoid the cops.
