Bonus YouTube: Ride along on a high-speed police chase

Ft Worth police recently chased a 24-year-old loser from near Hulen Mall in Ft Worth over to sunny Oak Cliff - that's about 40 miles for those of you keeping score at home. At the end of it, Jose Garcia (the above-mentioned loser) does a total give-up. Looks like he's familiar with the "face down on the pavement with your hands behind your head" instructions from the Boys in Blue.

The thing that grabs me about this chase is how often innocent civilians are placed in harms way. The cops have Garcia illuminated with the Night Sun helicopter. Should they just back off and let the helicopter keep up with him, or is it too easy for him to elude it? I dunno, but this would have scared the crap out of me if I were cruising down Marsalis Ave that evening.
