What about the crime of reckless endangerment? By fleeing like he did, the suspect put the cops, everyone on the streets, and every reporter covering the story in harm's way.

Of course you could argue the retarded police practice of LET'S CHASE THEM THROUGH CROWDED STREETS for every goddamn thing is pretty reckless too. Stealing a car does not inherently endanger anyone. Let them steal the fucking thing! There are multiple ways of tracing stolen vehicles without chasing them down the highway so you can be a hero.

Running away when a cop chases you is already a crime, it's called resisting arrest. Charge him for that. If you want to know who made the event worth covering on the news, you need to look at who made it into a OMG CHASE! and not just yet another stolen vehicle out of millions.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Wait, no

Deliberately engaging in a pattern of behavior dangerous to yourself and everyone around you (which is the nature of nearly any automotive chase) is a hell of a stupid solution to theft of property. It's like throwing knives through a crowded party in the GENERAL DIRECTION of the guy who just lifted your wallet. YEAH, MAYBE YOU'LL HIT HIM. OR UM SOMEBODY ELSE

MOSTLY SOMEBODY ELSE

So sometimes they get away with it. I am ok with that. I think it is a reasonable price to pay in order to have a police force that acts like adults.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
