    Hopefully they can catch more of the car thieves now. (And also hopefully, the judges will keep them behind bars)

      car thieves aren’t slipping away in car chases. The car is in a box on a ship in the ocean before the cops know anything about it.

      If the cops start digging a bit into longstanding organized crime groups, the judge will jail them for a long time. Police aren’t bringing those cases.

      Pretty sure that car chase over a minor infraction that ended in a collision and a bunch of innocent people dead a couple of months ago has more to do with this than the car thefts. Assuming that there is any real-world basis for the purchase at all.
