Traffic Police Pursuit
Boggert:
Agreed, that got a bit out of hand, expecially when the traffic car crashed into another! :lol:
However in the heat of the moment when all hell breaks out... it gets fun! real Fun! :twisted:
We had a traffice arrested for causing Death by dangerous driving, because the stolen car he was chasing with 2 run up junkies crashed and one got nailed! He was on suspension for 18 months :shock: and became totally stressed.
Oh yes... I would love to drive the first car thats being chased!
Bush Tucker Man:
That's bad about your collegue, sadly it's the state of affairs.
I'd guess that even in the good old litigious US of A, th Officer would not be treated in that way??
Dare I be a 'Devils Advocate' & suggest that the incident removed an undesirable element from the Human Gene Pool (Darwinism)
Found this on one of the 'Policemans Blogs'
If you ever testify in court, you might wish you could have been as sharp as this policeman. He was being cross examined by a defense solicitor during a trial. The lawyer was trying to undermine the policeman's credibility....
Q: "Officer, did you see my client fleeing the scene?"
A: "No sir. But I subsequently observed a person matching the description of the offender, running several blocks away."
Q: "Officer, who provided this description?"
A: "The officer who responded to the scene."
Q: "A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called offender. Do you trust your fellow officers?"
A: "Yes, sir. With my life."
Q: "With your life? Let me ask you this then officer. Do you have a room where you change your clothes in preparation for your daily duties?"
A: "Yes sir, we do!"
Q: "And do you have a locker in the room?"
A: "Yes sir, I do."
Q: "And do you have a lock on your locker?"
A: "Yes sir."
Q: "Now why is it, officer, if you trust your fellow officers with your life, you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you share with these same officers?"
A: "You see, sir, we share the building with the court complex, and sometimes lawyers have been known to walk through that room."
The courtroom erupted in laughter, and a prompt recess was called
:lol: :lol:

Good story, but I found the end a bit disappointing; I'd hoped the guy would be more badly injured.

That seems an odd thing to say, Therm. I don't wish for anybody to get injured regardless of what they have done. It only destroys the credibility of the case at court, and puts the officers jobs at risk.
I like cats, by the way. Apparently they taste like chicken. :twisted:

--- Quote from: "Lord Shagg-Pyle" ---No BTM, I think you'll find that he was probably trying to escape again by climbing the tree, but fell out, if you catch my drift :wink:

Sorry, my mistake, it was a bit like some of the drunks we get who inadvertantly attempt to get of their examination trolley & fall heavily to the floor, all with no assistance, & then have the temerity to complain about hurting themselves :twisted:
--- Quote from: "Lord Shagg-Pyle" ---The 'rules of engagement' in relation to pursuits, sorry, follows (correct PC term) is quite extensive, but Public, Officer and 'subject' (PC term for thieving, homocidal, violent scumbag) safety is paramount.

My thoughts (& I'll bet they're not just mine?) Protect the public & the Officer, stuff the 'suspect' (unless he's carrying innocent passengers)
--- Quote from: "Lord Shagg-Pyle" ---I am trained in all pursuit tactics, and have been involved in a few. They scare the living poop out of me, and it is one of things that you train for, hoping that you never have to use it.

I understand, if it all goes 'pear-shaped', who's 'head is on the chopping block' after all??
Sadly, the less the scum are pursued, the more they'll try

And adds to the paperwork :wink:
