\"\"We are all aware that there is a lot of controversy around in today\u2019s society about what \u2018can\u2019 and \u2018can\u2019t\u2019 be done and I have to say that on occasions I read some shockers and today was no exception.<\/p>\n

Whilst browsing the Daily Mail\u2019s website this morning I came across an article regarding the theft of 3 \u2018high powered\u2019 motorbikes from a store in Altrincham, Manchester. The robbers raided the store and fled at high speeds on the stolen bikes.<\/p>\n

Accordingly, the store owner had called for police assistance only to be astonished when the officers in attendance were ordered not to give chase as the criminals were not wearing any safety equipment<\/strong>! The store owner had to literally stand by and watch the bikes be driven off into the distance with nobody able to do anything about it.
\n<\/p>\n

It is believed that the police were concerned for the safety and welfare of the criminals<\/strong> and concerns were raised that a high speed pursuit could have resulted in a fatal crash.<\/p>\n

This is a difficult situation and I am sure many of you out there will be as astonished as the store owner to read this article.<\/p>\n

Whilst I can appreciate and understand the concerns of the force to some degree; it is difficult to fully accept that the criminals have \u2018got away\u2019 with the act.<\/p>\n

We have all been taught \u2018right\u2019 from \u2018wrong\u2019 from a very young age \u2013 the ultimate lesson being that stealing is wrong and you will be punished if you do so. What example does this set to the youth of today? Is it ok to steal high speed vehicles because the police won\u2019t be \u2018allowed\u2019 to catch you?<\/p>\n

Doesn\u2019t this set a bad precedent<\/strong>? Ok, so the police were concerned for the safety of the robbers, but what about the safety of other road users and pedestrians<\/strong>? There are now 3 criminals riding about on \u2018high powered\u2019 motorbikes. What will the police have to say when the criminals cause an accident or cause someone a serious injury?<\/p>\n

What are your thoughts? Do you agree?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Inexperienced drivers are one of the biggest causes of road traffic accidents<\/a> and if you are injured as a result of a road accident and it wasn\u2019t your fault, you should be able to make a claim. You should contact the Injury Lawyers<\/a> if you think you have a claim for free, no obligation advice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
