BBC News - Car crime victims 'financially penalised' by police claims
Has the World really gone mad? So a Police Officer is hurt in a car chase trying to recover a stolen car - the car is trashed , so you claim on your policy for a new car, bonus is affected & your a bit peeved - imagine your surprise to receive a summons against you ( not the git who stole the car!) because the officer got hurt in the chase - how is this so?????
It says in the report the thief is unlikely to have any assets, so why should your insurance policy cover the police? Why are they not covered whilst at work?
What should happen is the little sh1t that stole the car is sued by the police & have his benefits cut or made to work unpaid until his debt has been repaid - of course that wont happen because some idiot in Brussels says its against his Human Rights - he lost all those Rights (imho) the moment he stole the car & rammed the police car!!!!

It doesn't make sense to me, surely the officers should be insured? Working as part of the law!? Slough Business
