Nice catches, but he pushed his luck just that bit too far.

Most wanted felons are caught exactly that way; light out, not using a

I'm not saying the police weren't justified in trying to stop the guy; I
just thought the method used was a bit risky. He was a danger to all the
traffic on the road at that rate of speed and he had to be stopped. I still
wonder if there isn't a better way than spinning the car out and risk having
it go head-on into the other lane. Now if the police had been able to block
the oncoming traffic well ahead of the car before tapping him.... yeah, I'd
say it was kosher.
It's easy to armchair this incident now. In defense of the police, they
didn't have the luxury of plotting and moving resources in the time they
had, most likely. I wonder if it might not be best to just back off in a
situation like this, and let the driver sense that he's no longer being
pursued. At least he might slow down. Heck, they had him tracked by
helicopter. It's not like he could have gone on forever, they could have
grabbed him when the gas tank emptied.

The cops get off on those completely unnecessary chases.

Considering there was a helicopter following the whole thing, what was the
point? You're certainly not going to outrun a helicopter.
