Recently (yesterday) there was a wreck during a high speed pursuit in Georgia just a few miles west of Atlanta. The wreck, caused by the suspected criminal, had two injuries. (one, the alledged criminal and the other a police officer involved in the chase).

My question for you folks..... should officers continue or terminate a chase once they determine that the pursued is not going to give up? Especially if the crime was non-violent?

Source, not that it is needed but just incase anyone wants to read it.

Does it create a dangerous precedent to not go after criminals?

Is there a point in which the officers should terminate the chase?

Do we even care if the crime is shoplifting?

As soon as the chase turns dangerous, has the perp crossed a line and now the cops MUST pursue to stop other injuries?
