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".

How so? I think they're just implying that even once police drones are in use it won't necessarily deter suspects from driving erratically.

They won't even know they're there. Small, quiet drones thousands of feet up are practically invisible.

Once it's known that the police uses such machines, they know that they're there. Don't expect the conclusions to be in any way rational.

he doesn't mean they won't generally be there. he just means that they won't try to erratically avoid specific drones.

You may even need to drive faster...

Implying you can spot the drone. Best police drone would simply tag the vehicle and see where it is moving around, then apprehend the fugitive one he settles for a longer period (during the night usually).

You don't need to spot the drone. If they start getting used regularly, the escapees will assume it's there and may try to evade it anyway.

Drive until you've got some distance from the police, head underground, then switch to public transport.
