There job is definetly a difficult one, and it is made more and more difficult by things like this. Lets face it, if your a police person, and your see a criminal or suspected crimnal zoom off in there car, why should they bother chasing them anymore, knowing they will only be persecuted by the very people they are there to help.

I have no problem with a properly trained police officer chasing criminals, a police officer who knows when to pursue and when to back off because of the dangers.
This article has an untrained officer, an officer not premitted to carry out pursuits, pursuing the criminal the WRONG way down a dual carriageway
You can tell there was something wrong with what the officer was doing by this quote in the article

James Platt, an off-duty police officer who witnessed the chase, told the court he phoned the control room, in Wrexham, and demanded that Pc Bedford be ordered to stop the pursuit.
