Police pursuit policy

[cruza]

See they are talking about this again in the news after the lastest chase death in chch (halswell) .
I sometimes reckon Police are getting to PC , chase the buggers. Seems to me if you know the police will abandon a chase, you would go out of your way to try to get away. Is it just as dangerous to let these morons get away and carry on driving and cause a accident else where?
Toughen up , if they crash and kill someone while under police pursuit , do them for murder.

So if the person they kill is your child, your Mother, your sibling then you are fine with this?

Just checking.

I will clarify. I was not commenting on the police pursuit policy. The OP is obviously ok with innocent bystanders dying, just curious how far his opinion goes.

Please pass on our condolences to your family as they are sitting through a narrow minded murder trial

I wouldn't be fine if 'anyone' got hurt, But would not be aiming my anger at police. Too many are running because they know the police pull out .

And your happy these clowns get away to cause a accident somewhere else?

A poem published in The Press' family notices today described MacKay as a "man of your word" and referred to his death as "suicide by a cop chasing your car".

The poem reads:

"This is a tribute,
From the elite of the street,
Some of Paparua's gangstas,
Brothers in arms in bricks and bars,
Life and death in the fast lane,
We remember your name,
Never narked on no one,
True to the game.

You were a man of your word and very few are,
Suicide by cop chasing your car,
We reminisce about a youngsta,
Who aint no longer with us,
Dead but not gone,
Because through us he lives on,
Still smoking on, still smoking on."

Another notice said MacKay, aka "Fatboy", was "a solid and loyal friend to the end".

I think this dickhead has done society as a whole a favour.

Someone lunched themselves in Halswell yesterday? Missed that one!

The police are rightly concerned about the danger to Joe Public and his loved ones if they are chasing some plonker doing a runner (plus the officers involved in the chase are at risk the higher the chase speeds get). I believe this is the primary reason for calling off a chase.

I also feel for the police in this situation as all to often there is family and/or media outcry against the police when the offender kills him/herself or their passengers. In theory the police could (and usually do) say the chase had been called off, as indeed any chase is called off as soon as the offender runs into a lamp post.

Side note distraction here:
I ask why is it when there is a train/car accident that the media always report it as a train hitting a car - surely it is the car hitting the train as I have yet to see a train jump a track and aim for a car.

I don't usually get this pissed off about this sort of thing but it is a fucken shame the whole lot of these mongrels weren't in the car with him, fucken waste of oxygen breathing space.

My respect and gratitude goes to the guys who's job was to pursue them, a very difficult job the consequences of which will be with them for a long time, even though you have obviously done the tax payers of NZ a favour.

Actually I've got more to say, its the bloody red wine, time to arm the police then they can just deal to these lower than life forms without the need to put tax paying real NZers at risk - there just solved the pursuit dilemma as well.

What a waste of newspaper space, wonder if they rang it thru on a cellphone?
Making him out as some sort of hero ................

[Toaster]

NZ Police = damned if they do and damned if they don't.

And yes, there are plently of tossers out there that think that if they try to do a runner, then the cops will abandon pursuit.

Of course police (and govt) want to minimise risk to the public and collateral damage. They are afterall obliged to. Sadly, an obvious side affect of that is that some numpties will get away, but it seems the lesser of two evils when if they do pursue, so many then jump up and down when a pursuit goes pear-shaped.

Blame is always with the numbskull that decides to run. Unfortunately, the decision to pursue (and thereafter the continuation of) can be considered a contributing factor in a fatal pursuit. None of us would want to be in their shoes that day.

Probably did - while driving since they are badddddddddd gangsta's

[Genie]

well i'm on bourban as i dont' like red wine.


My opinion on boy racers...hey we were all young and stupid at one stage but.....

cars weren't so lethal.

we only drank beer

we had respect for the police

those that did runners...always got caught so what wa the point of running.


Personally, I think alot of this goes back to the parents and perhaps if they had instilled some boundaries their darling offspring would have some self control. bring back the strap and the cane at school. stop selling alcohol to anyone under 20. young drivers shouldn't be able to have a car bigger than a 1000cc's. the penalties need to be harder ie....you drive bad you lose your car - instant. forget the fines, it means nothing to them, get them out sweeping the roads and cleaning public toilets. parents...keep your children at home, dont' let them roam the streets from the age of 10. ffs, i'm winding up now. best i get another bourban

Give the Police proper air support. A Heli in each city would soon become a deterrent. At least then the police cant be accused of causing the incident by chasing. How do they pay for it? Put up speed cameras at accident blackspots, and watch the money come rolling in.

Fuck yeah
