When I first heard that UK police were running people over in order to combat moped crime, I thought... Hmm well if it works on GTA...(joke) But now I've seen the footage. Are you kidding me? We're doing this to people who are merely SUSPECTS!?!?

I'm fully aware that the issue isn't black and white (not a pun). But I just feel that maybe somebody suspected of stealing a mobile phone shouldn't get a broken back before he gets a court date.
I'm all for hard justice in certain circumstances, I'm just not sure this qualifies.
▪️"How else are you going to stop them"
True, but it's not a perfect argument. If you need to get into your house but instead of a key, you only have a sledge hammer...
▪️"Just pull over"
True, but more easily said by communities that trust the police. This doesn't help with that
But as you can tell from my fence sitting, I don't have an answer.
My view on criminal justice is not far from the Dexter Morgan school of thinking, however, it's only a matter of time until someone dies in one of these "controlled collisions" and then we'll have bigger problems.
