    But the US has all that too, and uses all that. The chases really only happen with non-descript stolen vehicles. Or when the occupants of the vehicle would be in more danger if the pursuit was called off than if it continued. And there is a constant analysis as to when the threat to the public outweighs the threat to the occupant.

    It’s not like the police are idiots or don’t have access to the same or better intelligence tools. They have to call in high-speed pursuits and there is constant oversight.

    I think pursuits are overall much safer than it makes it seem when you see them on TV or YouTube, because the boring ones don’t make it there, but the vast, vast majority are indeed boring.
