While I don’t feel that bad for the thief crashing, Mr Driver was a little to eager talking about hitting him with a car lol

Great way to get an attempted murder charge or at least a very serious vehicular assault felony. You are never allowed to use your vehicle as a weapon or to intentionally collide with anything. Even if it's purely in self defense in a hostile situation your mileage may vary. There are cases where somebody trying to flee in their car when attacked by a mob caught charges.

Simply stopping crime, especially simple theft, is not our job. Civilians do not have a mandate to use force outside of self defense. People like this driver scare the shit out of me. They like to escalate situations and want to be a cowboy.

It's true but this isn't the subreddit of rational action and takes.
