Just saw one on TV and every time they go through a 10 minute Simon Says routine. What if the suspect can't hear that good, or the cop shouting the instructions has a weird voice or is hard to understand.
They all have guns trained on you, the least little thing wrong and your in grave risk of getting shot.

Well, should be a suitable deterrent to not get into a police chase in the first place.

I saw one the other day, was apparently a DUI situation and the guy stopped at a light waiting for the left turn signal to get onto the freeway...and the cops just all stayed behind him as he patiently waited for the light to turn green. Of course, he ended up on the freeway and it dragged out for quite a while longer after that.

I have to admit, the chases on TV are probably one of my 10 favorite things about this new life, but I didn't understand why it is they didn't put a car in front of his when he was stopped rather than put lives at risk by letting the dude onto the freeway.

This doesn't cover what you're talking about, per se, but that's just because it doesn't sound like the potential problem your listing is an actual problem, given as how they never end up shot.
