!chase - backwards

Having it directed to somebody makes more sense and is leaves no room for ambiguity. But then it somehow overlaps with the !chase functionality before 45 secs. That need to be thought about thoroughly.

I, in some cases, had problems to make my suspects follow me, instead of stopping/slowing down to initiate a chase, for some obvious reasons. Actually, and I think some cops will agree here, is that the !follow command is either causing a mess behind us, or simply not respected by anyone, including the suspect.

My suggestion was only to initiate a chase to the suspect, and then telling him to follow the cop instead of "STOP POLICE".

Of course there's some other suggestions but what I suggested is, by far, the most simplest one imo.

If needed, we can even allow some room for the cop and the suspect at start while using this command, e.g allowing one minute leeway before the suspect failed to stop, instead of the 45 seconds currently in place.
