Be careful compadre's...

NR in all fairness I think your changing your original reply to this post as we go along, my response was to that post.

This can go round and round and there is no good in it, for example yes the police do comply with the same laws as us as in they represent the law and are not law, but in order to represent the law they cannot always comply with the laws of this land, i.e. go on to private land to arrest someone chased on to it.

I once knocked down a concrete lamp post should I have been billed?, I reversed into it and bent it (it had like metal rods in it which kept it up) it was an accident on public land.

The police do damage tax payer pays for it, that’s how it has always been, so yes they are liable for damages as are we.

Should they be allowed to do fixed penalty’s is another question.

Maybe Mike made a bad call today when he went off road, if it was dry maybe the police car would have just drove past him, but instead his truck was buried quite deep in the mud, I say bad call we all make them.
