Cameras are everywhere and most modern vehicles track and upload their position at all times. They could also simply follow behind in an unmarked car with lights off until the driver stops and arrest them there.
Chases are usually unnecessary because we exist in a surveillance state.
All of my family's vehicles are 10+ years old, if not 20+.
Famously, car thieves were never caught before mass surveillance was rolled out.
They very rarely were though, people used to steal cars for shits and giggles in the UK.
That's not a modern vehicle being chased though.
Besides, the US isn't a surveillance state, it's just too spread out for that.
So, once upon a time, I got a peek behind the scenes of the automatic readers for license plates. Unless you're living in a very rural area, and I'm talking all you see around you is crop fields or trailer parks and dollar generals, you've probably passed a few of them. That was about 6 years ago, so I would bet there are even more of them out on the roadways now.
You could probably get to bubba's house and hide, but they'll know the general area you're in, down to a twenty mile radius or so .
Oh my poor sweet summer child, any town over 2k pop and every highway already has cameras whether you notice or not. You're not getting in or around anything of use if you're avoiding those. I'm in a town with less than 6k in a rural area, can't go to the gas station without passing 3.
