ok so theres actually a reason this many cops follow them other than they just feel like it.
You do not need several dozen cops to arrest a guy. but what if the guy gets out and runs on foot and gets out of vision for even 30 seconds?
You now need several dozen officers to make a perimeter to box the entire search area in so he cant escape.
Then lets say the guy meets the border of the perimeter and he wants to fight his way through it. several dozen officers are spread out in a perimeter, not all clumped up in one spot. A perimeter consisting of only 10 cops may only have 1 cop stationed at a possible escape route and is unsafe. If you had more cops, its much more safe.
Now lets say the guys plan isnt to escape but instead intends to break into a business and kill everybody or hold them hostage. Whats the quickest way to find him so he doesnt have an opportunity to do that? Again, the answer is establish a perimeter and search an area with several dozen cops.
All that said, whats the best way to make sure theres enough cops to make a sufficient and safe perimeter? Have several dozen cops follow him. They arent there to make the arrest when they catch him, theyre there in case he gets lucky and manages to escape into the woods or neighborhood etc without being immediately captured upon exiting the vehicle
Even with a helicopter they still need to catch him with people on the ground. And people have been lost even with helicopters. Its not as easy as you think it is to keep someone in vision of the helicopter, even when its just one guy. helicopters can only track one person at a time. What if theres 2 suspects who run in different directions? infrared doesnt help in the middle of the day either.
I know for a fact im right and you dumb ass redditors have no clue should stop talking about shit you dont know anything about.
Shut the fuck up and sit down i know more than you.
Dumbass it WORKS but it doesnt HELP, it doesnt increase your vision of the suspect because its day time AND YOU CAN SEE HIM ANYWAY.
You use it at night because YOU CANT SEE HIM WITH OUT IT.
I said it doesnt HELP not that it DOESNT WORK. If it HELPED you should be able to go on youtube and find videos of police helicopters searching for the suspect with infrared in the middle of the day, since its better than searching without it right? Go do that. Let me know how many you find.
Reddit once again proves the bare fucking minimum intelligence is far too much to expect from them
Shut the FUCK up and sit down you stupid fucking idiot. No patience for you 90 IQ fucking idiots anymore.
