This happens every day lmfao. This isn't worth calling 911 over unless the person is wanted for something much worse. Not downplaying how dangerous it is to drive like this, but the people going these speeds usually don't pull over nicely Car chases are statistically way more deadly (for literally anyone anywhere near it) than just letting them go, as unsatisfying as it may be. More people are hurt/killed in pursuits than by police firearms (2/3rds being bystanders and passengers) and chasing makes them even more irrational and reckless. It also almost never amounts to actually saving lives which is the whole purpose, even assuming it goes perfectly. There are indirect ways to track these people down when they're not on the road I mean look at GSP, they are infamous for never letting go of a pursuit at all costs. As badass as that is their officers wreck at 3x the national average and they have the highest fatalities out of any agency in the country

So it’s been reported. Is anything being done about it? How can we protect ourselves from these illegal drivers?
