if there's a helicopter following someone they're still gonna run. I don't see how your idea is any better than what already happens.

I've seen cases where someone has given up once the whirlybird comes out, but those are rare.

But apparently bringing the chase to a stop quickly and cleanly is worse than a long, drawn out pursuit involving helicopters and multiple vehicles. Because police bad.

Once you have the licence plate and/or a shot of the perps, the high speed chase is just a bystander risk.

The RCMP stopped doing them decades ago and hasn't had any issues.
