A Houston local News station aired a story were a citizen upon seeing robbers approaching a fast food est. called for police ,the citizen then followed the crooks while still on the phone as they sped away ,a police cruiser caught up and pulled in behind the robbers car were as this person stopped his pursuit and turned back to the fastfood est,the word got back were the robbers got away from the pursuit .
It would be interesting to see a few Cop Car Units to bring into its fleet the possibility of Drone deployment at a certain point in these type of pursuits were speed/ accidents are avoided .An SUV type of patrol unit which had the words "k-Drone Unit " instead of "K-9 UNIT".

OJ, helicopters ...

Imagine the excitement of the live-action drone and newscopter crash!

No need to give the swine more ideas. Or power. I'd rather see a few robbers and killers get away.
