From what I see of them they spend alot of time heading out to accidents on a main highway near me, not chasing hoons.

LOL...a HWP risking himself to pull someone out of a wreck?

Not bloody likely mate...unless there's some demerit points in it.

It's always the same story...the chase was called off just before the crash....about 30 milliseconds beforehand....

Ask any paramedic about how useless a HWP is at a scene.

Directing traffic is about it.

I don't care what so called credentials they are given, 160km pursuits in the suburbs are just plain stupid....the crack head they are pursuing isn't an excuse cause the harder they pursue the harder the idiots drive to get away, better to use your head than the accelerator pedal I say.

By giving the HWP supercars is endorsing the pursue at all costs culture.

That's my opinion.
