Why do we need to follow a car in a high speed pursuit and force it to go 100mph on uncontrolled streets is the better question

The person “forc[ing] it to go 100mph” is in the car being chased.

Chased by what? It isn't a lion they are running from. It is a police interceptor egging them on to go 100mph.

I think they’re overwhelmingly being chased by a police vehicle after a lawful request to pull over and stop.

The fleeing driver is choosing to turn that lawful stop into felony fleeing/eluding if they choose to attempt to flee at triple digits.

		This is very much an “it takes two to tango” situation. Without both of: - A driver willing to flee the cops. - A cop willing to chase at dangerous speeds The high-speed chase doesn’t happen. Both make it happen.
