High speed pursuits are a menace to society. Many LE agencies have already tightened the requirements needed to engage in a pursuit. I believe deaths of innocents have been averted due to those changes. Most pursuits are a result of traffic violations rather than a serious criminal offense. The proper way to insure the public safety is curtailing unnecessary pursuits. In my opinion.
