High speed chases shouldn't be allowed because both police and offender are pushing the vehicle they are in beyond the normal road user circumstances and up to and/or beyond the specifications of the cars and their tyres and risking the safety of the general public. Road surface factors also can come into play with pot holes, rough surfaces and dips all over the place etc. Its a likewise dangerous game because its a threat to pedestrians and bicycles...YET...police are confronted with the situation that they cant just let the criminal go because then all criminals will use the high speed escape route. Its a problem with few answers. Most cops will break-off chasing rather than risk beyond a certain point.
