There are some stats about what has happened in Victoria with limited pursuits:
In 2006 when pursuit guidelines were tightened, there were 186 reports of drivers evading police. Seventy-seven drivers or 41 per cent weren’t caught.
The following year the crime rate more than tripled with 589 drivers refusing to stop. 39 per cent were never found.
By 2010, 972 attempted to evade police with 45 per cent of those succeeding for good.
Last year evade police reports exploded to 1508 reported offences, 989 drivers or almost 60 per cent, are still on the run.
Totally predictable, if you make it effectively voluntary to stop for the Police.
