27. They do look cool and TV. I also love the trick shots

when super cops shoot guns out of criminals' hands and everyone lives happily ever after, at least until the sequel.

Have you seen the new Autotrader commercial ]with the Dukes of Hazzard chase?

In many chases, particularly with more recent rules concerning public safety and fleeing suspects, it's quite possible for a chasing officer to face severe discipline, even criminal charges for his own negligent actions. Except in the most odd and extreme circumstances, the fleeing criminal, however, will still not avoid the criminal results of the chase. In fact, it's possible for both an officer and a fleeing suspect to be jointly charged with the murder of a innocent bystander, although such a trial would be admittedly unlikely.

Think of the chase responsibility like the better know felony murder rule. If a group sets out to commit a crime, and someone, including a conspirator, ends up dead, all the participants could be found guilty of murder, even those who were not at the scene like a lookout or getaway driver.
