Well hows this for logically, I would sooner ban police chases.....

I have never heard of anyone having an accident doing a burnout.

Quote from http://www.fitzroy-legal.org.au/ctyrepts/thrillsp.htmPolice accident records reveal there have been 194 pursuit mode collisions involving police vehicles in Victoria from 30 June 1990 to date, resulting in 31 civilian and 20 police injuries and three civilian deaths.

An extract from SMH 28/04/03

By Philip Cornford

The Sydney Morning Herald

Wednesday May 28 2003

"John Wai Keung Lau, the latest innocent victim of a high-speed police pursuit in NSW, didn't have a chance. Like too many others killed in similar circumstances, he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The 48-year-old family man died in a head-on collision involving a utility whose driver police wanted to breath-test and who was being chased at speeds up to 110 kmh through residential streets.

It was a tragic outcome to a high-pressure decision all too often made by a police driver.

Mr Lau was the 50th person to die because of such a pursuit since 1990. Eight were innocent civilians, one was a policeman.

The rest of the deaths were offenders, most of whom were suspected of traffic crimes or car theft -- for which the most common penalty is a fine.

But only 14 percent of 2291 pursuits last year involved suspected criminals, with 233 -- slightly more than one in 10 -- ending in accidents. In one-in-five of the crashes, police were found to have been at fault.

There have been 23 fatalities since 1999. It is a troubling record. When Mr Lau was killed on a Sunday night seven weeks ago, a periodic review of police pursuit practices was under way. "

Well I have seen the accidents during burnouts.

Someone explain to me how this conversation (once AGAIN !) has become about Police ?

Midnight Oil once wrote a song (or was it an album ?) called 'Redneck Wonderland'. Some of the posts here do justice to the lyrics.

'Fitzroy Legal' ?? Right up there with the Green Left Weekly and the other left-wing publications for lack of fact and level-headed sentiment. Try and stick to the subject matter. I wont bother discussing it any more, clearly logic and common sense is wasted on you
