Why is it so hard to stop police chases?

496 views

Why aren’t there very many effective methods outside of spike strips to stop a suspects vehicle in a police chase? What about an EMP?

Edit: I should clarify that I mean stop a police chase safely without any risk of serious bodily injury or death.

Most off the effective ways to stop a police chase are a danger to bystanders.

This theoretically includes spike traps, and includes pitstops

Sometimes the officer may not engage in a chase since it’s safer to just let the person get away, but put a BOLO on their car in order to find it later, and safely stop it.
