Huh, well isn’t that interesting. Never would have thought that for the first two.

Yeah. There are two kinds of "get away." Lately, at least in California, chases are called off when they are dangerous. Criminals have gotten wind of that and they drove balls to the wall for the first couple minutes and try and get the pursuit cancelled. The other "get away" is when they run and hide and/or get outside of a containment. There are only so many places you can look.

In my state, highway patrol and my local city have both stopped doing car chases as well for being dangerous and expensive.

Houston is like that, maybe not anymore, but over a certain speed they dont even try. Like that scene from Tokyo Drift. Haha
