Police suing victims

[CCArchive]

There are cases of civil claims being made against victims off car theft. Officers injured in the pursuit of the stolen cars, make civil claims against the victim, thus affecting their no claims bonus. There is also the recent case of the officer, who tripped on a curb when responding to a suspected break in at a garage. She is suing the poor owner, who is now a double victim of crime. His best defence would be that the curb was in good condition when he first sought assistance.
