well they are already pretty strict about calling of chases, and I think that restricting the police any more would be effectively not giving sufficient chase.I don't think anyone was advocating that.

Yeah, on having reconsidered, maybe lots of people were advocating exactly what you suggested.well they are already pretty strict about calling of chases, and I think that restricting the police any more would be effectively not giving sufficient chase.
!!!I actually like this suggestion. Let's change the law and give police more freedom to use their guns in car chases. If you steal a car, you run the risk of getting filled with lead. Now there's a good deterrent.
awww but mum!! all the cool kids mums let them do itIf you're going to be the moron that speeds for a thrill, then you might as well bungee over rocks with no rope attached to you, because it all ends the same way.
police obviously need faster cars
270+ kw SS commodores obviously arent good enough if people can get away
outfit the entire highway patrol force with zr1 corvettes
and the threat of being murdered by the police will also help deter a lot of criminals yes it will
Ok, well firstly WRX's arn't cheap and R8's (HSV'S) are $A80k 2nd hand, so they too arn't cheap. Taxpayers money should go towards more police cars (quantity > quality) and license plate capture systems(sorry didn't know a clinical term for this.)ffUUUUUUUU'
yes that was a serious post~
but yes why not? cost vs benefit
increased acceleration vs cost
current highway patrol cars are quite fast but there are also a few cars that can outrun them (hsvs, wrx sti etc, fairly cheap cars)
wouldnt a faster patrol car be the obvious next step
no one will outrun a ZR-1 corvette
and they are also quite cheap for the perforance
used in some states in america
what was the point of your post again?
~because career criminals who choose to disobey laws against theft etc are going to obey police directions to pull over~~the kid was a repeat offender and he has been in jail before.
he stole a car and drove it up to 200km/hr
hes 23 and he knows the law
he chose not to stop or even slow down once police had, or even backed off the throttle a bit.
If they hadnt of chased he probably do it again, as he is already a repeat offender.
If we stopped high speed pursuits then RBT checks would most of the time be useless, and the drunk driver would continue posing risks to the general public.
the police have no fault in this in my opinion, and most of the articles i read think the same. If people had the common sense to obey the law everything would be fine. It just dead shits like him that put people into this very tragic situation.
only fault police have is not locking him up for longer the first time he stole a car and endangered lives.
wishful thinkingif people had the common sense to obey the law everything would be fine
