More Than a Crash a Day as NYPD Keeps Pedal to the Metal on Car Chases
Police car chases and crashes spiked after Eric Adams promoted two allies to leadership roles in the NYPD.
Car chases are so pointless. Trace the plates and wait at thier home. Track the millions of cameras in the city and go to thier location. Im sure there's more non-violent methods than those they can use too.
The above is assuming police actually want to create a safer environment for everyone, though. Unfortunately its a lot more fun for them to Judge Dredd every possible encounter.
Like shooting, car violence is fun (is what I can deduct from these headlines).
It also keeps the plebs in check reminding them they are nothing & should carry on living with a constant but vague sense of fear & anxiety about existing within their class.
I agree about the car chases, but we also just saw in real life that the surveillance state in NYC is nowhere near where we might assume it was.
A man assassinated a CEO in broad daylight in Midtown, fled on foot and bicycle, and was able to disappear completely in minutes. The supposed suspect was only found by sheer luck at a McDonald's in a different state.
The issue is if the driver can get out of sight of all cameras/helicopters and leave the vehicle. Then there's no proof they were actually driving and could claim the vehicle was stolen or something.
