So when an officer (RCMP or otherwise) decides running out in front of a car to stop it but that car does not stop in time and hits and kills the officer, who exactly is at fault?
I'm sure the driver will be beat down on for "killing an officer" but at the end of the day, if you are stupid enough to run in front of a +3000lb object moving at a high rate of speed your an idiot. Police officer or not, that just stupid and you take your life into your own hands and if you get hit you should be the only one at fault.
I have often wondered this as I see this tactic used all the time and can only imagine what would happen if the car did not stop/stop in time.
As for the vests, if you are in an area where there is a high likely hood to be hit, why would you not wear one?
