While it's a valid point that they were doing their duty when this mishap happened not persuing their recreation like all the hunting accidents that doesn't absolve them of respolsability.

If I was driving a digger as part of my job and ran oversomebody there would be a investigation and if I was found to be neglagent then it would rightly be manslaughter. Ambuliance drivers have been prosicuted by the police for dangerious driving while on the job.

Ambulance drivers are allowed to legally break the speed limit but the point is they can't do that irrisponsabily. It's the same (or should be the same) for AOS members.

The IPCA investigate the complaints, not the Police. And none of the IPCA are serving Police.
Yes, Police and Ambulance can exceed the speed limit, but if they crash or something go wrong, then they are to blame. Regardless.
Police are more likely to be prosecuted for any offences to prove they don't show favouritism.
In Auckland if they did anything wrong or were criminal, I guarantee the IPCA would recommend a prosecution. But they didn't so I guess they deemed it ok.

But everyone is entitled to their own opinion on what partial information people have. No one has read all the information or seen all the evidence. Or know exactly what happened. So how can people give an opinion on something they don't know about.

If anyone has a link or a copy of the Police and IPCA investigation, I would be keen for a read. Cause without that it is all guess work.

my 2 cents anyway.
