 The car is spotted, the chase is on and cops decide to make the situation worse by  using their cop cars to practice physically stopping a  serious danger to the community.   I prefer cops  just follow from a distance when the crime report is "my boyfriend took my car without permission."  Give a cowboy a chance ram his cop car and the cop will damage the fleeing car.  A worse situation is when the cops instigate a high speed chase, rather than follow from a distance, and the fleeing car has an accident.  in our society we have good guys, bad guys, and cops.

You know the police have a hard job we have to give them a little slack.

You have a point Marv...following 'at a distance' is a policy...That way, the cops get the vehicle license plate number, which allows them to apprehend the vehicle and the suspects at a later date.

The Watch Commander gives instructions to the field units to do different manuvers such as a "Pit maneuver."

The pit maneuvers don't work unless you box in the suspect vehicle after it spins out.

Otherwise the suspects just start up the vehicle, and the pursuit continues. As seen on Fox News in recent pursuits.

With today's modern law enforcement techniques, this should not be the 'major tactical flaw' that it is.

I was born on a cold winter morning in 1960. When Palestinians began hijacking airplanes forty years ago I was disappointed by the US leadership in dealing with the barbarian habit. I admire President GW Bush for leading US into Iraq. I feel our military forces will be given authorization to rid the barbarians.
