Accidents happen. End of. measurements and samples because we pushed everything out of the way and What samples? DNA on the road surface? FFS , when vehicles crash its not rocket science to figure out what happened. Or you have a crash and kill someone, you are prosecuted for causing death by, you of course say you did not and that this that and the other happened. *But again the police only have a few photos and conflicting witness statements, no hard facts. *So you end up in jail. Well with few photos and conflicting evidence there would be no presecution so I wouldn't be worried. It may be an inconvenience to you and others, but it can save a lifetime of doubt and uncertainty, or a life changing criminal record, or not, for those involved. Looking at it another way , the jams could cause other accidents to happen elsewhere, they could cause people to be late for job interviews, hospital appointments, picking their kids up from school, important deliveries or 101 other important tasks that have to be done during a day. One accident does not take precidence over the life of an entire city. The europeans realised this long ago, its about time the police in this country woke up to the fact too. In order to minimise the need for long road closures, aren't the police supposed to be getting new technology in the form of a laser 3D camera, which will used to rapidly scan the site of road accidents? The images obtained will then be used to produce holographic images of the site, which can then be used for the actual detailed investigation.. -- Ian I can see this apparent good idea further contributing to delays once in the hands of plod. |
