High speed pursuits involving multiple police are only used to catch hoons?

How about criminals fleeing the scene of a crime? Do you think your garden variety bank robber pulls up to his intended target in the family vehicle? Police should allow violent criminals to escape if the vehicle they're driving exceeds 100kph?

High performance police vehicles not only go faster but they also handle a lot better than the family sedan counterparts. I'd prefer police responding to an urgent matter in a vehicle built to handle a fast response rather than an XT Falcon.
