I thought trying to bring the drug crazed drivers of stolen cars to justice was protecting the public, why blame the police for a terrible accident which happened in the line of their duty. If the moron mowed someone down it would be where are our police? Why did they not stop him?<br />Cheers MargaretMargarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03141349188165443154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-87935113798892242862006-12-12T04:03:00.000-08:002006-12-12T04:03:00.000-08:00I would also like to see more emphasis in the avai...I would also like to see more emphasis in the availability of better quality pursuit vehicles for the police, cars with improved superior handling compared to your dressed up falcons. Maybe also improved training and advanced driving skills to be made available to our police to provide more support to them. But don’t abandon responsibility because of the possibility of calamities, arising from the perpetrators irresponsible and life threatening actions in the fist instance. <br />Best wisherslindsaylobehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774918551798647046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-31628551099999891632006-12-11T19:11:00.000-08:002006-12-11T19:11:00.000-08:00I agree, gtotracker...sitting on their butts becau...I agree, gtotracker...sitting on their butts because car pursuits have been outlawed will not work.<br /><br />Consideration is being given here to special 'Safe Driving Policy' being implemented. Compulsory pursuits' training is being considered...but of course, as with all parliamentary decisions, this probably won't go through until sometime next century or even later...particularly seeing the Christmas/New Year Season is on our doorstep and most of our government members are on holiday until the new year and parliament won't sit again until February, I think. <br /><br />How difficult can it be for the Police Minister in this state and all other states,for that matter, to give a simple nod to the compulsory training in pursuits! Anyway, why don't the police just go ahead and train their officers. Why should they require permission from bureaucrats to do so?<br /><br />No wonder our police are confused by all this 'to-ing and fro-ing'. Poor buggers...they've got a job to do...let them do it! If they use capsicum spray, they get jumped on by the idiot civil libertarians and Kerry O'Gorman rubs his hands with glee...the police get blasted for car pursuits. It's about time someone got on their side and let them get on with their job!Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-65637977079714351292006-12-11T18:18:00.000-08:002006-12-11T18:18:00.000-08:00The City of Houston had this policy for about a we...The City of Houston had this policy for about a week last August. The short version of this story is that is how long it took for the city to realize such a policy will not work.gtotrackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05458741562993051868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-88265693993204048342006-12-11T14:06:00.000-08:002006-12-11T14:06:00.000-08:00It certainly is the case, Peter.
