But I agree that it does bring up difficult questions.
So I'd ask the question, who get's to control the "kill switch", how is it accessed. Given that the vast majority of pursuits last less than a few minutes it's a nice idea but think of the logistics. This is very "big brother" and "hollywood" all rolled into one.
