The cars they drive are already fast enough. I saw a speeder going absurdly fast on the freeway a few years ago. Like, had to be over 100. Then a minute or so later, the cop chasing him went by going way faster. I was astonished.

Needless to say, I passed the pullover a couple miles down the road.

And IIRC that was even one of those SUVs, not even the sedan type.

Cops really shouldn't be getting into high-speed car chases in modern times, it's highly dangerous and completely unnecessary with modern technology. Just follow the car with a drone until the driver stops and gets out, then arrest them. We just went through something like this in Canada, they pursued the driver when he went the wrong way on the highway to try to evade them, and they hit and killed 3 people.

Support in what way? Just blindly continue to pay taxes and not pay attention to how its spend, like we all pretty much do now?

Sure

You don't need a damn Mustang GT to catch your average speeder.

Maybe.

But reckless driving is dangerous even if they're not being chased, and the blue lights cause many many such drivers to pull over. We'll never really know if enough people are saved because of reckless driver who got pulled over to offset the ones who died because of a chase, and I'm not convinced that's even the right way to analyze the question.

There's also the option of a hybrid approach where you attempt a pullover and if they run, you don't pursue (in the car) and dispatch said drones instead. Even in that case, you'd need to be able to catch up to the speeder to attempt the pullover.

But anyway, standard patrol cars are already plenty fast.

Now that radios and helicopters were invented, I don't think high speed chases are necessary. Although, they are pretty cool.

Had to be like 130 or more. I dunno, I don't have one of those radar guns but it was fast.

Just invest in cameras that catch the speeder and send them a ticket in the mail.

If you drive at dangerous speeds you deserve to be pulled over and lose your license. It is not the polices fault some people are selfish and feel the need to put other people's lives at risk and in danger. The police can't win they ignore it the person could kill some one they give chase and try to stop them they could still kill some one. It is best to stop them as soon as possible.

They've been doing that for decades. In the 80s it was foxbody mustangs. I didn't think Mustangs cost much more than Chargers, but I don't keep up with current pricing. It's a way to attract young males into the police force I guess.

What's bad though is when they incentivize pulling over expensive cars and letting cops take ownership if they charge the driver with a crime. Policies like that lead to police corruption.

Yes.

Canadian police cars are a massive joke. Everyone drives a Ford Explorer or Fusion, and they cant keep up with shit.

Meanwhile US police forces get Mustangs and Camaros, and Italian police rip Alfa Romeos and even have 4 Lambos.

Time to step it up.

Haha.

Ask the average citizen how they feel about speed and red light cameras.
