Is it feasible to just track them from above with a helicopter? That would reduce the number of speeding cars on the road at least.

Once police have drones high-speed chases become much harder to justify.

I seriously doubt drones will cause less innocent deaths.

You seem to have confused "armed drone" with "drone".

It is, but it takes time for the helicopter to get off the ground and show up, and if you don't chase them in the meantime they will likely get away.

I am curious what the average response time is for a police helicopter though.
