The "Good Samaritan" who possibly caused a motorcycle accident...

[shri]

Complicated shit, given that an disciplined services officer is involved and there is a lot of pro-law enforcement sentiment at play.

1) Fire services officer some how got involved and the involvement sort of caused an accident ...

2) Is said FS officer a "good samaritan"? I've viewed this as someone who gives first aid etc and might be shielded from liability if the person they're giving aid to has issues later. Also no clue how the charge ends up being "tampering with a vehicle" ...

It was learned that the 40-year-old Customs officer was detained over tampering with motor vehicles on the same day of the accident and the case is still under investigation.

When questioned about the possibility of whether the Customs officer will be charged with manslaughter, Kong said there is a chance and noted that it does not necessarily require intent and can be based on criminal negligence or a disregard for the safety of others.

She highlighted that even if the accident does not qualify as manslaughter, it could still involve lesser offenses such as tampering with motor vehicles. The offender could face a fine at level 2 and up to 12 months in prison.

Anyone who pushes a noisy motorcyclist off their bike is a good Samaritan in my book.

I guess vigilante and good Samaritans are synonyms

[Scorpio01]

wow, so much hate for motorcyclists that you are willing to injure them physically? and in this case, the person died !

Seems more like something a Pharisee would do - or a representative of Cesar.

At the end of the day, the motocyclist died because he decided to flee from the police. That's on him, he would never have gotten injured or killed if he had stopped and could have potentially killed or injured someone while fleeing. He could also have wrapped himself on a pole all by himself. Would the policeman then be charged? Give the guy a medal.

To extrapolate that .. we all die because someone gave birth to us. Just saying ...

This hasn’t been a good year for motorists.

Already 5 deaths in 6 days. RIP

Taxi cuts up speeding car - 3 dead
Customs officer tries to stop motorcycle - 1 dead
Truck driver slams into garbage truck - 1 dead

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Also:

"Kong pointed out that the law clearly stated citizens must have reasonable doubt that the suspect has committed an "arrestable offense" punishable by more than 12 months in prison before exercising "the power of citizens to arrest.""

WTF
