So if you were a cop in a Police car and a car sailed through a set of red lights in front of you would you follow him?
If he then started to drive erratically would you keep on following him?
And on a side note what do you think happens with stolen cars? Do you think they get parked up on a side road for a bit or do they get used in committing more serious crimes.
If you don't want the Police to drive fast anywhere then please tell them, write to your MP demanding the Volvos, BMWs and Evos get replaced with smart cars, preferably with mattresses strapped to the front just in case. Either that or pay people to walk about in front of them with a red flag.
