Just what IS the penalty for those who run from police at high speed?

From what I gather, it's not NEARLY stiff enough.  People who run, at high speed, from the cops are endangering the public as significantly as if they discharged a firearm in public.  Indeed, the penalty for high-speed evasion should be comparable to those for committing armed robbery (e.g. MANDITORY jail time).

Maybe this would give criminals a little pause before running and putting lives at risk.  At the very least it would remove such blatant disregarders of life from society for a while.
