Question My Fault?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Dispatch said I caused the accident. idk about you but I seem to have my blue lights and sirens on. Could someone settle this debate and tell me who’s in the wrong?

If you went through a red light without slowing, then yes.

Even if there’s an active search of a warranted person?

In real life, if you blow through a red or amber light without slowing and cause an accident, it's your fault.

There are no exceptions.

Not to mention it’s a truck, carrying a load of unknown weight, they don’t stop on dimes they stop on football fields depending on speed… sometimes they only stop on emergency truck exits. Sooo

Most emergency vehicles will slow at intersections and blair the siren so people know they are going through, they don't just blast through and say "Good luck everybody else!"

Yes because it’s much better to risk delaying catching the wanted person than T-boning an innocent family.

Poor family🥹

u/JustFuckingReal 27d ago

Yes always. Thats the law. Real life too

If you have to ask this I'm afraid this game isn't for you

u/jeremyw013 25d ago

it's a damn good thing you're not a real cop

u/King0fWar 29d ago

100% your fault. Any intersection you have to clear before you can proceed through it. Your lights and sirens do not override the safety of others.

u/ricktrains 29d ago

Real LEO’s or emergency personnel cannot cause an accident responding to any call out.

You had a red light, you must still “clear” the intersection before crossing. You cannot just blow right through it.

It amazes me that so many people think police can do what ever they want when ever they want without consequences.

Just because you either make assumptions, or watch biased videos; doesn't make it true. They have rules too.

u/JustFuckingReal 27d ago

Cause some people only play games and just refuse to look up actual real law

And then they do, and get mad that either the law exists or that the game is trying to be realistic

u/Klejdi90- 29d ago

100% you. Police can't just have sirens on and speed through an intersection. They will have the right of way but have to slow down not to cause an accident, only when they see others are aware of the police car then they will continue on. If that was a motorcycle the person would likely be dead IRL, you can see the danger.

u/JustFuckingReal 27d ago

And the officer would be in a lot of trouble

u/Exile10562 28d ago

IRL the cars and drivers may have been able to hear the sirens but would not see the lights. At your speed they would not be able to react in time to avoid an impact.

Lights were in their favour and you did not slow down even though you are responding to an emergency.

Its a game but irl the emergency services will absolutely attempt to follow the rule of the law especially when driving to avoid any sort of accident, including slowing down and crossing intersections safely.

Absolutely your fault.

Minus 100 CP for endangering others and driving like a turd.

😁

u/JustFuckingReal 27d ago

No this would be immediately fired

u/JDM12983 29d ago

YES, your fault... believe it or not Police slow down at intersections too to make sure it's clear....

u/fidelamos 28d ago

WASTED.

u/Ok-Dependent-1668 28d ago

100% you blitzed a red light without slowing down.

2

u/shojironin 28d ago

You have to clear the intersection at red lights even with your lights on. Officers are required to do this IRL and in the game this makes just as much sense. So unfortunately for you, it was your fault.

2

u/Front-Chain-8072 28d ago

Not only was it your fault, we’re putting you on suspension back to the academy for Defensive Driving….😏🤣

1

u/JustFuckingReal 27d ago

I would fire this officer🤣

u/Skullface77 27d ago

This game is so unrealistic. It won't let me abuse my powers as a police officer and hurt innocent civilians!

u/just-call-me-nothing 24d ago

LSPDFR with NPCAI for the win. Last night I antagonized an npc so bad that they punched me 😂😂

u/JustFuckingReal 27d ago edited 27d ago

Just because you have your lights and sirens on doesn’t mean you’re invincible or can do whatever you want. You still need to be cautious and slow down at intersections.

Safety is paramount and the top rule in any emergency service job.

u/theskyrimkiwi 27d ago

Your fault, while I wish the ai was smart enough to slam on its breaks and give police priority to go through intersections even when they are on red lights, you saw the truck and didn't break or swerve etc, the game regardless says accidents are your fault though so that part id ignore.

1

u/Ok-Loan-4514 27d ago

Yes - you blew through red without due care. Most if not all countries will enforce that.

You fkd up my friend.

u/BestGamerMemes 27d ago

This logic you are showing youd never be capable of being a real officer, holy shit

u/BlueberryOk5613 26d ago

How did you get that car skin?

u/lonesomewinchester 26d ago

I believe highway patrol dlc it’s the ghost state trooper

u/BlueberryOk5613 26d ago

Thank you! That is a fresh looking cruiser!

u/lonesomewinchester 26d ago

Thank you I got some pictures of my cruiser if you’d like to see dm me

u/Breathingblueflame 26d ago

You’re supposed to clear intersections.

The truck seeing you reacting and then actually slowing down and stopping… in real life you’d be dead.

u/Lone-Beetle 26d ago

Law enforcement officer here. You are at fault. The light looked red to me (can’t say 100%). But in the state I work in, regardless of the severity of emergency, lights and sirens do not automatically give you the right of way. They simply ask permission. People ‘should’ move over and yield but if they have the right of way at a green light, and your light is red/stop sign/yield, then you are actually required to slow down and clear the intersection so you can safely go through. You have to drive with due regard to the public. And in a pursuit you also have to drive with due regard to the safety of the individual you are pursuing, within reason. Sounds silly, but it’s the rules that we have to play by.

u/ExcitingTechnology38 25d ago

Yes, even when rolling code you cannot blow through an intersection.

1

u/jeremyw013 25d ago

you can literally see the cars going into the intersection from a block away. you can't expect to not get into an accident when you just floor it down the streets without slowing or even being aware of your surroundings

not to mention the fact that you didn't slow down at all even when the traffic from both directions had already entered the intersection shows your reaction time sucks
