You know what’s also a nightmare in a big city? A fucking high speed chase. Small problems (that don’t apply in this situation anyway) do not negate potential solutions. No solution is perfect. Obviously it doesn’t work in a fucking city. No one claimed it would. Stop making up issues that aren’t being discussed.
They developed it into something dangerous. The driver was probably driving reasonably safely (there is no perfectly safe way to drive) before the cops showed up.
I’m glad you think so! I would feel ashamed if you agreed with me that police shouldn’t put others in unnecessary danger. I’m sure it’s hard for you to think something like that with how rotten your brain has become from the boot polish.
Edit: hold up. I just looked and you’re both the person that said drones don’t work in a city, so we can’t use that, and cameras aren’t om back roads, so we can’t use that. First, this situation is neither. Second, they perfectly cover each other in your arguments. I know, you weren’t making arguments to be logically consistent; only to win am argument. I still want to point it out though. You’re ridiculous. At least put some effort in!
I’ve seen cases where someone has given up once the whirlybird comes out, but those are rare.
But apparently bringing the chase to a stop quickly and cleanly is worse than a long, drawn out pursuit involving helicopters and multiple vehicles. Because police bad.
You know an even safer one?
Track them via existing cameras and from the air. Then you dont need to chase them.
Yeah, the existing cameras on US back roads, and a helicopter that costs a few grand an hour to run.
Great idea.
Drones are pretty cheap these days cost way less to run
Also way less range and a lower top speed.
Also a nightmare to fly in the vicinity of other air traffic, so no use in a big city.

Good thing the used their doodad to bring this to a stop quickly then, before it could develop into something dangerous.

This is just sad.

if there’s a helicopter following someone they’re still gonna run. I don’t see how your idea is any better than what already happens.

Once you have the licence plate and/or a shot of the perps, the high speed chase is just a bystander risk.
The RCMP stopped doing them decades ago and hasn’t had any issues.
Instead of launching a tether they could just stick a tracker to the car and follow them at a leisurely pace.
Not if they ditch the car. As they would. The license plate is already going to be too hot to drive around.
