No, the cops shouldn't be causing these dangerious chases.

You ever watch the show Cops? Most of the high speed chases are for stupid BS. IE they failed to pull over. You end up having a guy run for half an hour breaking every law in the book and driving the car into a house because he didn't want a ticket.

But then any perp on the lam would only need to speed up and he stays not caught.

The first time I saw that show I thought it was a parody (always reminds me of the local police where I grew up); given a choice, I think I would rather have the criminals on the streets.
