High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A car chase is the vehicular pursuit of a criminal by law enforcement officers. Car chases are often captured on film and broadcast thanks to the availability of video footage recorded by police cars and police and media helicopters participating in the chase. They are a popular subject with media and audiences due to their intensity and drama and the innate danger of high-speed driving.Car chases occur when a criminal attempts to use a vehicle to escape from law enforcement attempting to arrest them. The crime committed may be as serious as murder, or lesser crime such as a traffic infraction. When the criminal realizes that they have been spotted by law enforcement, they attempt to lose their pursuers by driving away, sometimes at high speed. In 2002, 700 pursuits were reported in the city of Los Angeles. Police use a number of techniques to end chases, from pleading with the driver to more forceful methods such as the PIT maneuver and use of spike strips. The StarChase system as of summer 2009 was in use by the Arizona Department of Public Safety.
