I agree with that. But Im not into the whole mentality of just letting a crimanal escape. It should left to the policeman's discretion if he/she should continue with the chase, and if it turns dangerous for other people then they should stop with the chase and find other way to catch him or use a hellicopter to know the criminal's location.

Good point. The cops should find an alternative method to find the guy if a car chase becomes too dangerous for innocent people.

Of course not, but they still have to do it. There is always going to be some kind of risk in a high speed chase.

It was a stolen car, that is what we have insurance for. Unless they see the person commiting murder they need to let it go.

Edit: Green belt. Damn I'm a post whore.

People are supposed to pull the fuck over whenever they hear sirens, and in pretty much every police video only 10-25% of the people they pass are pulled over.

I can understand why you'd chase a murder or armed robbery suspect, but chasing someone for something petty is pretty stupid, and to a large extent I think they only do it so they can sell the footage to the news. Capitalism: gotta love it!
