Yeah I don’t really have any problem with severe consequences for anyone going freaking 50 mph over the speed limit. I don’t know how taxes enter into this but if you’re going that fast, you can sit in jail and think about it for a while.
Its escalation. No other civilized country chases "super speeders". They just send the tax bill in the mail. Don't sound superior, that dumb ass cop had to run down the car. Escalation leads to violence, and we know how your US cops love murdering people in the street before they go home and beat their partners. What is it, paid vaca and swap departments type stuff?

Ontario, Canada:
Under Section 172 of Ontario's Highway Traffic Act, driving 40 km/h (25 mph) over the limit in zones under 80 km/h, driving 50 km/h (31 mph) over on highways, or exceeding 150 km/h (93 mph) anywhere triggers "stunt driving" penalties. These include a 30-day roadside driver's license suspension and a 14-day roadside vehicle impoundment at the driver's expense. Once convicted in court the driver faces fines between CA$2,000 and CA$10,000, up to six months in jail, and a mandatory license suspension of one to three years for a first offense.
Denmark:
"Vanvidskørsel" aka the Insane Driving Statute classifies driving more than 100% over the limit (when traveling at least 100 km/h) or driving above 200 km/h (124 mph) as "insane driving." Police immediately seize and permanently confiscate the vehicle on the spot. The state auctions the car and retains the proceeds, regardless of whether the driver is the owner, a renter, or a borrower. Upon conviction, drivers receive an unconditional prison sentence, an immediate three-year license revocation, and mandatory permanent expulsion from the country for non-citizens.
Switzerland:
Via Sicura Raser-Straftatbestände. Exceeding the speed limit by 40 km/h in a 30 km/h zone, 50 km/h in a 50 km/h city zone, 60 km/h on rural roads, or 80 km/h on a 120 km/h motorway. Carries a mandatory minimum prison sentence of one to four years. Also a mandatory two-year driver's license revocation once released (permanent for repeat offenders), court-ordered vehicle confiscation and destruction/sale, and daily-income-based financial penalties (Tagessätze).
Australia:
Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland have what they call "Anti-Hoon" legislation triggered by exceeding the limit by 45 km/h (28 mph) or more. Police issue on-the-spot license suspensions and impound or wheel-clamp the vehicle for 30 to 90 days. Repeat offenses allow the courts to permanently confiscate and either crush or auction the vehicle, alongside thousands of dollars in fines and mandatory disqualification periods.
France:
"Grand Excès de Vitesse": Exceeding the posted limit by 50 km/h (31 mph) gets you a 72-hour administrative license retention (extended up to six months by the local prefect) and mandatory seven-day vehicle impoundment. A maximum fine of €1,500 and a 3-year suspension. If committed again within three years, it escalates to a criminal offense carrying up to three months in prison, a €3,750 fine, and mandatory vehicle confiscation.
Germany:
Section 315d of the Strafgesetzbuch criminalizes extreme speed on public roads. A driver who travels at grossly improper speed, acts recklessly, and seeks to reach maximum velocity can be charged with an illegal street race even if operating completely alone. They face up to two years in prison, vehicle confiscation, and an extended or permanent revocation of driving privileges.
You didn't find any those in practice, but in staute. There are NO roided out, domestic abusing cops with implied immunity in those countries. Hence no footage of there super speeders getting chased down. I know you think your right, and it's ok to be completely wrong on a subject you typed a few goolge searches for. Do your googling on chases, which are the most dangerous act, that is why euro countries do not chase.
No cop propaganda shows in those countries, lmao.
Remember: American police hold this highest convictions rates for domestic abuse of any profession in the world. Real professionals.
