I know there’ll be people who dismiss it as “sci-fi” or whatever, but it seems like magnetic tracking tags that could be thrown or fired at cars would be a good idea for situations like this. They won’t always work but it’s better than either the chase or just giving up.
I remember an ad for GM’s OnStar that showed the police contacting someone at OnStar or GM or whomever, who was able to contact the car being chased and turn the engine off. I wonder what happened to that? It was well over ten years ago when I was seeing that commercial.

Paint ball guns with UV dye would be another option in this direction.
