These aircraft are mostly used for purposes other than law enforcement. Many of the trips they take should be done by the fire departments. Executive transportation can be handled by car or that fancy-schmancy train they want to build.
Why we spend a moment chasing cars with dozens of police cars and helicopters is beyond me. It's more dangerous to the public (and the officers) than letting the idiots go, and take them into custody in a more controlled situation.
