Car chases are so pointless. Trace the plates and wait at thier home. Track the millions of cameras in the city and go to thier location. Im sure there's more non-violent methods than those they can use too.
The above is assuming police actually want to create a safer environment for everyone, though. Unfortunately its a lot more fun for them to Judge Dredd every possible encounter.
There's been cloned plates, and no plates. Still, safest is helicopter tracking them down.
Helicopters are another good non-violent solution, too.
Drones would be even better.
Years and years ago they showed how they can sticky-bomb a gps tracker onto the car. Where’s that tech? It’s probably dirt fuckin cheap. But these ~~people~~ cops can’t help but want to be the star of their very own renegade cop action flick
They would be, maybe. That takes away the adrenaline rush though.
