Port Moody Police say an officer on duty saw a red Ferrari turn onto the highway and take off at a very high rate of speed. Police say the car was being driven erratically, weaving in and around other cars, although Constable Bill Kim won't go as far as calling it a chase.

When police chases left two innocent bystanders dead during a recent four-day period in Hamilton County, the deaths brought renewed urgency to the long controversial question of when -- or even whether -- officers should engage in risky high-speed pursuits.

In one of the fatal accidents, a teen-age driver who allegedly drove away from a gas station without paying for gas later struck and killed a 52-year-old pedestrian while being pursued by a Hamilton County sheriff's deputy in a chase that approached 90 mph.

Although Hamilton County Sheriff Simon Leis has defended the deputy's actions, others have faulted the decision, arguing that a stolen tank of gas is never worth risking the lives of officers, other drivers, pedestrians or even suspects themselves.

Even before the latest incidents, some police departments, in the tri-state and elsewhere, had begun adopting new pursuit policies aimed at tempering cops' natural instinct to do whatever it takes to catch the bad guys. In Fairfield, for example, a year-old policy is based on the premise that sometimes, it's better for a bad guy to get away, at least temporarily, than to take the risks involved in trying to catch him at all costs.

Hyde, if you need 140mph, go to a racing track.
A highway is for us at normal 110km/h.....
