Cops vs Bikes - Use of force

[[TC]►Ash◄]

Seeing as there has been debate recently on the server about Cops vs Bikes and the level of force which is appropriate to use, it would be good to have a constructive documented comment on the forum.

Please share your views on the situation...

My personal views, light tactical contact should be allowed if the chase warrants it. Why? Bikes advantage in a chase is they can floor the throttle and be long gone into the distance within seconds. They can navigate tight situations in traffic etc, where as the COP is at a disadvantage and cannot do such moves.

The flip side is, light contact is most likely to lead to a bike becoming unstable and ultimately falling over. However, I feel this comes 'part and parcel' of deciding to use a bike to evade capture.
