No, they shouldn't be stopped. Police are there to do their jobs. It's not their fault when accidents happen.

No, why should they get away with it? They've just done a crime. I know this sounds cruel but if they get hurt in a crash, in a way, it's justice.

I think chases should remain, but only up to a certain point because people are dying in them. It's also a danger to innocent pedestrians.
