    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.

      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.
