Pursuit depends on a lot of different things; what kind d of crime are the wanted for? Considered dangerous? Visibility? Traffic? Identity of suspect known? Operation/speed of suspect vehicle? Basically are the risks in a particular pursuit justified? Which is safer for all...pursuing or letting them get away? Many departments have policies saying a pursuit is justified if certain criteria are met and how the pursuit will be performed. Some have a top speed, some won't allow road blocks or spike etc. A lot depends on the departments geographical area, their training, vehicles, etc. No I don't think law makers should make a law based on what looks good on paper. Yes all departments should have policy taken from others experiences.
