kant and chase scenes

Watching a car chase in the superb 2002 show "Boomtown," I suddenly go back to something that struck me the summer after my 8th-grade year:  Kant, and the Metaphysics of Morals.   Can you ever be justified in violating a principle of good?   Even if the very violation of that principle is in the service of a greater good?   (Think of Jesus breaking the Sabbath to heal the blind.)

Kant laid the philosophical groundwork for the Crashed Vegetable Cart Rule of Movie Pursuit.   Even at this late date, it's fun to watch someone with an excuse for shoving kind old ladies and crashing into storefronts.
