Police killing us again!

[bogan]

Oh sorry, didnt realise you knew all about the pursuit policy.

Silly me, forgetting you know my job better than me.

I was referring to the fact that it doesn't matter was policy it comes under, pulling a u-turn in a blind spot like that still ain't a good idea. If there is a policy, why wasn't it adhered to? If there isn't, there damn well should be, wouldn't you agree?

[red mermaid]

No, all the previous recent comments were about the pursuit policy and that is what I referred too.

so are you saying there was no police policy which applied in those circumstances, which says doing a uey is a really bad idea?

[red mermaid]

No, don't put words in my mouth. Are you a lawyer?

I said the pursuit policy does not apply in this case.

[bogan]

I said the pursuit policy does not apply in this case.

And I'm trying to ascertain if you have any policys that do? a question which you seem to be dodging with the usual smokescreen tactics.

[red mermaid]

Go and research it yourself and find out the answer.

[SPman]

Is this turning into the new "Scottish Thread"?

Does asking a cop not count as researching it? I mean FFS I'm not here to have a whinge at cops, I just want to know how the system works.

There is a persuit in progress when the driver of the alleged offending vehicle is AWARE that he is in persuit of a PIG, and the PIG has the proper qualifications to persue oink,oink.

When you find out, please let us know, there's a good chap.

well the google searches keep coming up with pursuit policy needs to change etc etc, dangerous police maneuvers..... all stuff and harold articles, so I wouldn't bother reading them for facts anyway. So unless our mate there lets puts aside his holier than thou attitude, and takes 2 mins to explain it to us, don't think we're gonna find out.

[Coldrider]

I think the 'persuit policy' was explained in the Buller Gorge thread.

I think the 'persuit policy' was explained in the Buller Gorge thread.

Had a look in there, can't find it, not gonna read the whole thing obviously, but apparently it doesn't fall under pursuits policy anyway, which I'm confused about, as the whole reason the uey was performed was to pursue someone. Me thinks Red Mermaid is providing Red Herrings.

BTW read this

and tell me its not all just about fucking revenue collecting!

I hate this rotten nanny state system....

[bogan]

I see you have it all under control in this thread Peasea

No need for milo to add more oil into the fire...

I mean we dont want to gang up on them too much...it will make them feel inadequate and they will just go issue more speeding tickets.

I don't think the aim is to gang up on them but with the attitudes shown by some cops (close ranks, divert attention, blame others), it does create an us and them dialogue, pity that, as useful changes will only happen with both police and public support.
