Chase them down, I say. I also feel it should be a mandatory three years in the slam for attempting to flee, on top, and irregardless of, whatever other sentences they receive.

Yes, how do you know who they are after? We've seen time after time that people will go on high speed chases over a fucking warrant for a parking ticket that might cost them a night in jail. Consider the amount of people that will run and the likelyhood that it is actually a dangerous criminal that represents more of a threat to society than a 100mph+ car chase. The public is safer with the bad guys getting away for a day or two while the cops search for the offender.
Would you be singing the same tough tune if a family member got killed because of a chase started over a stolen vehicle?
Manditory minimum sentances are never the answer. Those systems end up with a guy having a bunch of child porn images getting multiple life sentances while an actual child molester gets a few years.
