TV should never again broadcast description of criminals vehicle
On the one hand, when the fugitive who shot the judge and others in Atlanta, was on the run, the media wants to tell everyone what he looks like, and what kind of car he's driving. This information could help catch him quickly, and helps law enforcement.On the other hand, every criminal who was watching this unfold probably realized that the suspect was also listening, and would keep switching vehicles until he had one no one knew about. The only way to carjack someone, and not let anyone know you carjacked them, is to kidnap them, or kill them and take the body so it can't be found. As long as they leave someone behind who is able to tell the police what kind of car he's in, they know what car to look for. As long as the vehicle's description is being broadcast, the criminal knows if he's got to switch cars again or not.
Just broadcasting a description of the suspects car, could be enough to cause the suspect to abandon that vehicle, and the next vehicle he takes, he'll take the person with him, or take their life, or both.
That's just my opinion, I could be wrong. Ahoy from the Captain.

Well here we go, there was a car chase in LA yesterday, and the driver was obviously aware of the TV coverage. This idiot was talking on his cellphone, hanging out the window, waving, flying some purple banner or flag (could be Lakers purple) by holding it out the window, while he drove. He was probably calling all his friends and telling them to tune in to Fox, where he really was on live TV. Maybe they shouldn't show this to us live. Maybe they should film it, then show it later. A 5 second delay isn't enough, if someone starts carjacking and killing people.
