Cop may be disciplined over chase: Intro

thats what i was thinking. there is no reason the cop should have approched the car like that. it should have been a felony stop. the cop should have taken cover behind his door and drew his gun. he is lucky it didnt end up another way.

This is in Queensland, where unfortunately we have a 'no pursuit' policy. We are only allowed to pursue for serious matters, and even then, they are usually cancelled by communications as soon as they start due to Police being investigated, sued, disciplined and fired for when the offender crashes, hurts him/her self or others. If you pursue for any length of time, whether it just be activating lights and sirens and then switching them off and cancelling the pursuit you will be investigated by Ethical standards. And we don't even have a Police Helicopter for the entire state (Land mass bigger than California, and 5 million people). No onus is put on the offender, if someone refuses to pull over and a licence plate is recorded they offender will get an evade police court appearance where the usual fine is $300. The criminals now know all of this and use it to their advantage all the time.

So they think the Officer is wrong for chasing a fleeing subject? What world do we live in??
