do you remember the police rescue where the observer hung out of the machine and grabbed a woman for a tow to the shore.
Bottom line, this is policing, and any bobby will tend to do what needs doing at the time and sort the 'paperwork' out later. Bottom line is, that if we stand idly by whilst someone is about to die, then we end up in more !!!!! than the CAA could ever send an airmans way.
I think this highlights the real need for the capability and flying restrictions of police ASU' s to be reassessed. They are there to save live and reduce/detect crime. They should be properly resourced, equipped and allowed to fly within a non restrictive legal framework
