Give him an easy time. theirs a flip side to this, even thou they are the law they still have to abide by it. (which means they cant brea it to those idiots out their). my friends dad got ran down and killed by an unmarked police car responding to a call out and running throu a red light. .whilst he was at a zebra corssong. . . he later died in hospital from head injuries and nothing happened to the police officer even thou he ran a red light and was speeding. . where is the justice in that??? knowing what the police are like these days it was probably a petty crime they were responding to! they should get treated the same way as us. . their nothing special!!! so spookie ignore these knobs!! their to blind to see the other side!
Mate, I am very sorry for the loss suffered, BUT, trust me here, CPS will have been consulted about any charges. CPS WILL be more inclined to prosecute a bobby than joe public, IF they can, purely to avoid the above kind of statement.
If I get a call via the control room then they grade the response, ie, immediate usually means as soon as poss, BUT, I make the final decision as to whether lights & sirens. The older I get the less I seem to use em.
All told I've had 8 weeks driver training and get refreshers every few years.
