Yes i do agree it was partly our fault too. The problem is that the police should be setting an example and following the law as its their job to abide by it. It's a bit stupid how they punish other people for doing this but then do it themselves. The least thing they could of done is turn around and contact a medic for us instead of driving off.
Good to see that you recognise your own mistakes.
In response to your comment, Indeed it is our job to abide by the law and also enforce it, however you must realise that sometimes officers are placed in circumstances where it would be beneficial for them not to have their lights on, such as in an active firefight (not saying that there was one taking place here but just for an example), however officers must have a very good reason for this, because as you have witnessed, it can cause incidents like this and allows the police to be partially or even fully blamed.
I agree with you that the officers should have at-least stopped and dealt with the aftermath of the situation and called for the NHS to deal with yourselves, however it is entirely possible that they didn't notice that you had crashed into the wall died.
So if a civilian does it can the cops do it tho? They have some strict rules to attend, Maybe if a civilian doesnt have his own vehicle lights on he will probaly get a ticket or something but if a cop doesnt have vehicle lights on and riding on the left side of the road whats gonna happen with the cops? oh yeah nothing they're higher than us.
Incorrect, police officers are accountable for all of their own actions, if you feel like that have done anything wrong you can report it to most Inspectors or above and it will be dealt with but their commanding officers. I can tell you now that an officer will be dealt with properly otherwise I myself will get involved.
The attitude that you take towards the police is the one that allows you to complain about what we do freely all the time, but not give us any constructive criticism as to how we can make the police better as a whole, and therefore improve your own experience with us.
As I always say, if you ever have any issues then my office always has a spare chair and I'm always willing to listen to you or anybody else.
