If an ambulance is on its way to save someone, and it runs someone over, does it stop to help them?

If a Ambulance was to run over someone they are legally bound to stop and help. In this case another unit would be dispacted to the orginall call. This just does not fall in line if the hit a pearsone but also if they are just out and about and see somthing happen they are still legally bound to stop.

You know what young man,I sure hope, if and when you take the course, you take it a little more seriously.It won't be a hoot if someone falls almost dead at your feet, you'll have to do the CPR without any feeling, other than wanting it to work....that's the rush,saving someone.Just some friendly advice, I'd want somebody to pull my coat.BEST TO YA.......LATER!!

Nothing else, you simply call 911 and if is not a life threatening call they re-route to either police or rescue..☺

In response to your A: once a person is on life support, they can't be pulled off except with a court order. When we faced that decision with my grandma, the doc asked my mom about life support..mom couldn't make the decision so the doc put her on it. Once the family got there to say good-bye, they slowly stopped giving her meds which were keeping her vitals up...she finally died. Sometimes the family can't make that decision and the doc is trying to give the family time to say good-bye. I doubt that most doctors think about whether the patient has ins. or not..they have to use their conscious to make that decision.

No. As long as the officer is on an emergency run and following the states laws on using emergency equipment. Some states require both lights and sirens, others require only lights. In most states the driver that fails to yeild to an emergency vehicle, whether Police, Fire or Ambulance would get a ticket, if not a trip to the local jail.

You asked this twice so I will answer twice:\n\nLeaving the scene of an accident refers t oa multi car collision. The fact that your car was the only one damaged eliminates this possibillity for you. Walking for help is certainly the right move. Unless of course you have a cell phone and could call for assistance

Um, I don't know why they bother to run, but nowdays there are helicopters and spy cams all over the city and they can dispatch other cop cars to come running at you from the direction you are going so the person will just be surrounded.  \n\nPlus, there is that new invention that is basically a gun that shoots a web that catches the person that is running.  So yeah, it's a pretty bad idea to run from the police.\n\nNot only that, but if the person would have just surrendered peacefully they would have been better off, but instead they chose to run and now when the cops do catch that person they are going to beat the sh*t out of them for running.

Now days I don't stop for to help anyone but I will call the highway help number and report the location of the person that needs help. Now days you just never know...sad but true.

It just happened and I see from your point of view the Police were already in the wrong.  Considering at least one officer got run down with the car it also hit another vehicle numerous times I'd have to say there's a bit more to the story then overzealous cops.

There is no right answer to this question. Either way, someone dies. You are still left for the rest of your life, knowing that you either killed your own child, or a train full of people.  If push came to shove. I'd have to be selfish and save my child. It's easy to say you would save the train. Fact of the matter is. Unless you are in that situation, you will never know what you will actually do.

If a mother steps out into oncoming traffic and is killed while saving her child, who lives, is the child "happy" the she had to do it?  Is he thankful for her sacrifice?  Does he realize how much she loved him to do such an act of heroism?  Does he think of her as the dearest person in the world to him for loving him so much?\n\nGod requires a sacrifice to cleanse ones heart from sin or he will die.  Jesus stepped out into the oncoming traffic for all of mankind.  Anyone who believes on him has a heart of adoration and gratitude for this act of love, knowing that if he had not done it, the world would be lost and die.\n\n"But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name." John 20:31

No. Do not call 911 unless it is an actual emergency. Speculation is not enough. You may use resourses to save some property (or not), at the expense of someone elses life. Go get wet. Perhaps you can scare them off. Perhaps, since you are obviously lazy and probably don't have a job, the car is only worth a couple hundred bucks and not worth getting wet for. Good luck!

Sometime police wait until the registration information comes back from the dispatcher (we don't have computers in our cars here and have to get the dispatcher to check). Sometimes the computer is very slow and it takes a while.  The police officer may have been waiting for a safe well lit area to stop you in or may have suspected you of drunk driving and was observing your driving to see how you were doing.  He could also have been waiting for backup to get closer.  We usually don't stop vehicle unless we notify the dispatcher first, if there is lots of officers on the radio, you have to wait for airtime.  Lots of reason for not stopping you immediately.  If the officer did not lose sight of your vehicle you are out of luck.  Take it to court and see what happens.

Wouldn't worry too much about it. If you ran over a person there would be one hell of a dent in your car, so, if there isn't too much of a dent or blood, then I suppose you can sleep better. We ran over a guy once and even though we didn't drive fast (and it wasn't intentional!!!!), our car was totally f-ed up.

No.  You are beyond help.\n\nYour life is over.

It means if you stop and help someone and do your best to care for them until law enforcement or medical help comes, you cant be sued and wont be liable for anything that happens to them while your doing your best to save them or help them.
