"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken

"'If you need to knock on someone's door in the middle of the night to tell them a husband or wife or son or daughter was killed in a pursuit, then you damn well better have a good reason for that pursuit,' Gualtieri said. 'I wholeheartedly agree that nobody's life is worth a property crime offense.'''

Most pursuits have nothing to do even with property "rights" offenses. Traffic infractions, most of them; something that should not be illegal at all.
Yep! There are gray areas. High chase persuit or restricted, life's gonna happen and someone will pay the cost. For the lack of a better phrase we could call it the "Human Condition".
