Quote: I think you miss-understood. I mean they should have cleared the road for a few miles ahead. Consecutavely block off on ramps a few miles ahead from the chase and then when the chase passes let trafic follow behind.
Do you have any idea of the coordination that involves?
Keep in mind, this car was going 100mph+, they covered a distance "of a few miles" in about 3 minutes.
So, you're suggesting they coordinate with police 20+ miles away (a feat in and of itself) to stop every onramp onto the freeway for 10 miles (another feat that would likely cause accidents as the traffic flow change screwed people up), and then hope that the car doesn't decide he wants to get off the freeway at some point between here and there.
And that still doesn't take care of those people who are already on the freeway. They're still in the way.
