I saw reporting that they did nothing, the guy got spooked and ran even though he had a valid license and registration. He would’ve been let go, except he caused a chase.
Hold on. Do you think it’s legal to speed away from a police officer just because they don’t pursue you in a highspeed chase through a highly populated area?
That is still illegal. But in civilised countries the police will abort the chase due to concerns of public safety. It’s not worth an innocent bystander being killed as a result of the chase. That doesn’t mean the crime of fleeing goes away.
I have to wonder what these people did to warrant such a dangerous chase.

That is stupid as shit. Could’ve killed someone over nothing.
The problem is, you don’t often find out why they’re running until you catch them. He could have been wanted for murder for all we know.
Is it worth nearly killing several people to catch someone who’s done “something”?
In many countries this is considered to be irresponsible on the police’s part. Society isn’t an 80s American cop show.
I’m sorry but that’s bullshit. Unless they are actively suspected for committing a serious crime, there’s no way this chase is justified.
It’s not worth risking the lives of innocent bystanders just because some unknown individual didn’t stop.
So the law depends on how fast you can evade capture. Good luck with that.
I mean, yeah. Literally.
