police chasing a suspect know only one thing for certain and thats that the person is running from the law. everything else is an assumption. In the case of this check forger, what if it was someone else who had killed the owner of the car and then stole it? If they give up pursuit intending to just meet her at her home they could find the dead body but then the murderer would be gone. Yes, its speculation and almost all of it usually is and even I'd be angry if someone I cared about was injured or killed because of a high speed pursuit, but the criminal running away is the criminal that caused the carnage, chaos, and ultimately the death of the innocent. Our police on the streets have their hands tied up enough to serve and protect, lets not tighten the cuffs anymore on them.
I can almost guarantee you that with the exception of the most stupid and reckless of individuals out there, the first time you charge someone with capital murder because they ran from the cops for a speeding ticket and killed someone, you'd have less people running from the law.
