It's a policy that protects the officers as well as the suspects. No police officer wants to cause someone to be killed as a result of a pursuit, nor do they want to go through the inevitable hell of an investigation and potential trial after doing so.
Cops not chasing motorcyclists/theives once they take their helmet off

So running down and killing or seriously injuring a single pedestrian is o.k in your book for any crime let alone a petty one
I'm glad people like you aren't making important policing decisions!
If someone drives in such a way as to endanger their life or the life of others...yes, they deserve to die.
So people that speed or drink drivers deserve to die also??
Your lack of empathy and compassion is rather depressing, as soon as people start justifying the death of other human-beings I feel they have already lost touch with humanity
Drink drivers deserve no sympathy or leniency. When I was younger I witnessed a drink driver mow down and kill instantly three generations of the same family. The man was out of prison after just three years. That's not justice.
Speed in itself does not kill. Speed at inappropriate times however can.

It's like having a loaded gun - whatever it be, car, van, lorry, motorbike.
It CAN kill quite easily!
I don't think people grasp that it's not like running into someone or punching someone when drunk....
It's the lesser of 2 evils - I'd happily see someone drink driving die or driving like an idiot than run over a kid at the side of road....

Police have no chance with motor bikes helmet or not.
No point in chasing something you cannot catch, or if you do someone is either dead or badly injured.
Just send out the Rozzer Copter, in those circumstances. Then the vehicles on the ground can hang back till the biker stops, then go arrest them.

A rozzer once said to my mate when he pulled him for speeding, "If you want to drive fast get a motor bike, as we cannot catch them!"
Caught me many years ago with no road tax, you know what the filth said to me, "You know anyone with guns and you can walk" and gave me a card with a phone number on (before mobiles were everywhere ).
6 months later I get banged for no road tax.
Police avoid like the plague!
Political correctness gone way to far. If you violently steal someone's moped, after assaulting someone with a hammer, you lose all rights to health and safety, if anything they should shoot the ****er off the moped or ram him off.
There is no need to protect the safety of these types of parasites.
This is of course, depending on the situation, but if it's definitely a stolen bike, and some arsewipe runs on it from the cops, and dumps his helmet, he's guilty of something...

It has gone beyond stolen motorbikes now. It appears gangs are using scooters to get around posh areas, commit crimes against the general public and get away on them then knowing full well if they ditch their helmets the police cannot continue the chase.
If someone runs from the police then they have something to hide and at that point as long as the chase isn't endangering the general public I really couldn't give a toss what happens to the riders / drivers of any getaway vehicle. This country needs to sort its rules and laws out so that low life scum like this cannot get away so easily.

On point.
Either way you cannot win, as there will always be that 'one' who kicks up a stink.
Thoughts, well. Why cant they have a police squad dedicated for moped/bike crime by using moped/bikes themselves. Maybe they can get around that helmet off rule that way as it would be far less dangerous of a chase if they were on similar bikes because they are much more maneuverable and they could pursue chase to places normal cars wouldnt be able to go due to size.
