We have police chases in Britain just like in America and we also show them on police chase TV shows (though I've never seen a big chase being broadcast live like you sometimes get on American TV). Some of our own traffic police TV shows are more like documentaries rather than sheer sensationalist entertainment shows like in America, there is no one like Sheriff John Bunnell in Britain. Some of the chase shows shown on our TV are compilations of chases from America, Britain and other countries, and we still have "The World's Wildest Police Videos" and other US chase shows on our channels.
And shows like that do feature chases from your country, as well as others. Not just from the USA. And yes, they tend to be exploitive. I remember an episode where some guy stole a U-Haul truck. The thing was a Ford Econoline E-350 cutaway van, but Bunnell's narration was like "The driver thinks he's tough with his big rig..."
BIG RIG!?! If that's a "big rig," then my P.O.S. Toyota Corolla is a god-damn LUXURY LIMOUSINE!!But getting back to the subject, I haven't really seen that many in my life that I recall. When I was a kid on the school bus, I saw two cars trying to run each other off the road, and Suffolk County PD was chasing them. Another time, I saw eight SCPD cars pulling one car thief over across the street from my house.
