It seems a couple people missed the above quote from my first post. Just to make it clear, I think this new policy is complete crap.
Here's my reasoning: Sure, now it is almost impossible for an innocent person, or people, to be injured or killed in a high speed chase. BUT the truth is that MANY MANY other crimes are "discovered" during the course of the "routine traffic stop". Now those crimes will not be discovered.
You do the math - every guy that runs is free to commit more crimes.

Doesn't say they won't take your LP# and pick you up at the house the next day. There should just be a rule that 15 secs into the chase they just shoot your car and end it.

Cops need to fire an adhesive that houses a tracking device inside onto vehicles.

Really I think they out to get that zapper thing mounted in a helicopter like on CSI Miami, because you know if the TV cops have it, it MUST be real....

In Dallas You can paint your gun Bright Pink or HOT yellow. Rob a bank and the law will not shoot at you. That color shows you have a toy GUN. Now you do not have to worry about being chased or shot at. Just change you license plate for a stolen one and you are free to go!!!!!!!!!!!!1
