What is the point of protecting your safety when the police are willing to let people just take your possessions away?

Fine. You don't see the point. Let them charge through residential areas at a hundred miles an hour, sirens blaring. Smash into every civilian that gets in the way of justice. In this day of good radios, helicopters, GPS systems, 'rapid response' , and tire shredding strips .... I just consider the high speed chases to be unnecessary.
Especially when the property isn't considered worthy of defending by the legal system... you can't attack someone who is trying to break in your car.

Well, civilians definitely can't protect it. So you are proposing a trade between protection of property and protection of safety? Or trying to meet in the middle?
