Can you explain how they're different? The definition I found makes them sound identical: "theft; the action or crime of stealing" (Oxford dictionary).

As a non-Englisman, I'd say it's pretty normal for devices and house appliances to have physical text in English but software in another (local) language.

Here's a good video that talks more about the power of the rich in SK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRgp8oBiAmw

So you're saying a police giving chase is always as dangerous a driver as someone drunk beyond their ears? And a 10 min chase ending in a crash is always worse than someone driving around for an hour potentially running over several times more people only to then crash either way?

Of course in most cases I agree brute force is not the correct option, but there are situations where it's needed.

This completely depends on the ratios and the crimes and a lot of other factors. What if the person fleeing is a suspected murderer? I'd rather see a police chase potentially endangering innocents than allowing someone definitely endangering innocents walk free.

Another example, which is very common, is that the person fleeing is under the influence of some drug. Allowing that person to drive off is also endangering innocents, sometimes more and sometimes less than a police chase would.

My point is that police chases are not something you can just get rid of completely and think you're protecting the public. But I agree with the purpose of the article, if there has been a huge increase in dangerous police chases after some change in leadership, it's very likely that the police are to blame for bad decision making on whether to give chase or not.

Again, as I said before, my original comment was replying to the idea of never giving chase and always trying to catch them later, which is not always the best option.

That's not comparable lol? You do realise it's possible for police to give chase without endangering the surrounding people?

If it's a common occurrence that innocents are being endangered by police chases then the police are obviously to be blamed for dangerous pursuits.

My former comment was simply stating the reason why police give chase at all, instead of letting everyone off the hook if they feel like not stopping. Not really sure why people are downvoting...

The issue is if the driver can get out of sight of all cameras/helicopters and leave the vehicle. Then there's no proof they were actually driving and could claim the vehicle was stolen or something.

It's where they filmed the ads for the car brands VAudi, WolksVagen and MazDa.

It's not a mistake. The person of the year is not by definition a good person, but someone who's had a lot of influence during the year, for better or for worse.

In the ranking’s six edition, researchers looked at [...] autonomous vehicles and robotaxis

I guess the metric is more about a best case scenario (meaning they assume no traffic and only one individual's transport needs), not about public transport.

I struggled too, turns out you have to rewrite the whole word in the box, not just the missing vowel.
