To Chase or Not to Chase: Are the Risks of a Pursuit Worth It?
Episode 195
Wednesday, 15 October, 2025

How do you stop a car that doesn’t want to stop? If you see a rabbit should you chase the rabbit? We talk about safety and statistics, what factors to weigh the risk versus reward, how policies play into decision making, what the Brits mean when they say “Red Mist,” and alternatives to vehicle pursuits including the role of Air Support, PIT, The Grappler, road spikes, surveillance, and intelligence gathering.
