This is like a nothingburger. There are "no chase" laws. It's not like they are going to say, fuck it, I gotta charge so let them go. I didn't use the silly Afghanistan analogy.
Good, because you know I'm right regarding AFG. But back to the vehicles... Yes, but there's a reason that large 4 door sedans were(are) used for law enforcement.... because they are functional for that by the nature of their design. If Elon builds a better designed electric cop car from the ground up... then every municipality in the U.S. should buy them. Maybe paint the Menlo Park editions pink.
And Biden's mistake was adhering to Trump's deadline. At least he didn't invite the Tali to Camp David for 9/11.
Does it matter? Chases result in stop strips, helos and dozens of ground units. The speed and acceleration advantage is > the effective range (team vehicle pursuit). The biggest risk is EV-fires.
They're fast, I'll give you that. However, East Bum-Fvck County Magaland doesn't stock stop strips, and the helo support requires a Governor's signature for calling out the SNG.
