I've had this discussion many times with my GF's dad over the years (he is now an ex-police officer, was trained in high speed driving - i'm talking 160mph in the UK).
He found it ridiculous when he came here that he couldn't pursue criminals at high speeds; everytime a chase came up, the cops were told to back off. I have no problems with police being taught to chase criminals, after seeing the skill level of those trained in the UK; I can only say that Australia must be far behind. If a dreg crashes his ******* into a wall and kills his bogan passengers, you won't get any sympathy out of me - if its an innocent that is killed... well obviously thats a different story but odds are the scumbag driver will keep driving erratically even without the cops chasing him. Police are here to protect and serve, how can they do that if they can't stop criminals?
