3. Pursuit causes problems.

High speed chases are dangerous. They just encourage the fleeing driver to speed up and take more chances. It's much better to keep track of the suspect vehicle and wait for a good opportunity to stop it, or wait for it to break down, run out of gas, etc. Yes, a speeding vehicle is dangerous, but adding more speeding vehicles only adds to the danger. But the suspect should be charged with a bunch of crimes because he did endanger the public.
