VC:MP Complaints / A suggestion and Much More of a Request
« Last post by MichaelCorleone on October 27, 2020, 17:55:00 PM »It has been evident that human beings are bound to do errors but sometimes, ignoring such things can lead to much bigger problem. I am here to request the Chief of Police, VCPD to take this issue under his watchful eyes.
It is clearly stated in Police code of Conduct that even during emergencies, there shouldn't be any danger to innocent lives. I encountered two such accidents with VCPD Officers and Cadets. And some other traffic violations also.
As we know, that when Code 3 is initiated during an emergency response, the use of sirens and lights is done; so that drivers and pedestrians are alerted about the situation, but it didn't seem to happen in these cases. I was driving a Cab at the times those incidents happened, and more importantly, a passenger was with me. In one of the accidents, my Taxi was rammed by an upcoming Police vehicle which was being driven in the wrong lane. It happened at the bridge connecting Starfish Island to Washington Beach Area, and due to this, I was unable to see the upcoming car, even though I was in the right lane. But the accident was so immense that I had to pay my passenger for the damage done to them, and the VCPD Squad car rushed away without even stopping for checking us. I would not disclose the identity as it's not a complaint; rather it is to make the officers aware of the situation. I even asked the Officer afterwards to use the right lane but they argued that it was a case of emergency. But, they were not using any lights or siren at the moment.
So, I will request the Honorable Chief of Police(VCPD) to take the incident under notice and try to find ways to prevent such further situations, one of them being a Driving Test, because, such situations may lead to loss of life.
