Or you are going through a green light and some jackass in the

seen due to other cars obscuring that lane, and is running from cops,
plows into your car doing 80 mph. Some things simply cannot be
realistically avoided, and seat belts along with air bags DO matter.

blame the cops for that. car chases put innocent people at risk.


...and sometimes unavoidable due to circumstances.

There is a strict policy about car chase.


What policy?Which jurisdiction?
Which PD?

They can't do high speed chase to keep the dangerous situation from

happening.

That doesnt make sense. There are many reasons for a pursuit, but none of
them are made with future events in mind, and none are made frivolously.

Reckless chase is not allowed by law.


Which law? Which jurisdiction? Who said anything about a "reckless chase"?

There are usually some strict guidelines and procedures in place for
conducting pursuits, and there are guidelines for when a pursuit is to be
broken off, track from the air, or address changes from freeway to surface
streets. Not all chases or pursuits are reckless.

....and amazingly many of the chases I have seen which ended badly, the driver
of the fleeing vehicle isnt wearing a seat belt, but wishes he did.
