“Reform the police department, not a chance, we aren’t changing; oh, you’re our insurer, whatever you want.”

I see the point, but there is a risk to the new policy, in that somebody being pulled over may figure that all he has to do is continue driving and maybe speed up, and he will end up going free. This would be particularly true in the case of a stolen vehicle, where there is no obvious way to connect the driver to the license plate. I don't have a solution to the problem. We do know that in the Los Angeles area, the police and highway patrol will sometimes break off a chase due to risky conditions, and sometimes they know who the driver is and figure to make an arrest at some later time.
