There was an incident of robbery on a motorway sometimes ago and the police stopped the Car that was coming behind,got into the car and started pursuing this armed robbers. They were not the ones driving though, but they got inside, both in front and behind,the owner of this car was driving while they were shooting,they finally got one of the stolen car's tire puntured. THe driver was very lucky not to have been hurt.Do you think it was right for them to take that car and still ask the civilian to be driving while they were shooting?

I think that the Civilian had every right to say no, and that if he did, the police would have found another way. I do believe though that it's also a civilians obligation to help the law enforcement at any opportunity. I believe that the civilian was viewed as a hero that day for helping the law enforcement and risking their life. So, no, I don't think it was wrong for them to do that. :)

No they put the civilians life in danger. I'm surprised no action was taken against them. Unless the driver decided to drive them. Where were the cop's vehicles anyway? Bike cops?
