Questions about NYPD's policy on risky drivingVideo of a dramatic crash in Brooklyn is raising questions about the NYPD’s policy on risky driving. Footage shows a police cruiser striking an SUV, causing it to spin out of control and collide with a pedestrian. Fortunately, the woman survived, but the incident has sparked a larger debate: What are the rules of the road for police?
When asked what it means if the crash was not considered a pursuit and the policy did not apply, Michael responded: “It suggests that an even higher level of care should have been exercised. The Patrol Guide clearly outlines the standards that must be followed. Something wasn’t adhered to here, and rest assured, we’re going to find out exactly what that was.”
