A high-speed, high-risk police chase over a nothing violation like this is an obscenity. I will never understand why people are willing to put up with it — why police aren’t fired, prosecuted, and jailed.

    Do you believe the driver would’ve driven as fast, as dangerously, and had the same fatal wreck had he not been pursued by police?

      Knowing he can evade police just by accelerating, yes, I do. And I think he would steal more cars, and drive them more recklessly, because he knows he can get away with it. I think he would put many more kids at risk. I think many more people would choose to steal cars in the same fashion, putting many many more kids at risk.
