I think he should, but only if one or both of the news teams were acting on behalf of the police. What are your thoughts?

1) news teams do not act on behalf of the police. Ever. If they do, they shouldn't be in news anymore.
2) The man did not make the news team follow the police chase. He's not responsible.
The immediate ones responsible are the pilots. They should be flying the helicopter first, taking directions from the photogs second.
The REAL responsibility lies with the idiot news directors who get a hardon every time there's a damn police chase. Repeat with me folks, POLICE CHASES ARE NOT NEWS. They're fun video. They're good fodder for Cops and Worlds Wildest Police Videos, but they do not belong on the news. Asinine masturbatory "look what we can show you with our Super-HD DopplerCopter Chopper 11" should not be the mission of a newsroom.
