Police in pursuit: The actions of colleagues are legal

Regarding yesterday's pursuit in the Nicosia District, all the actions of the colleagues were legal under the instructions of Police Order 2/38, that is, when there is a reasonable suspicion that the occupants of a motorcycle or vehicle have committed, are committing or are about to commit a crime, they are being pursued .

As well as in the provision that states that, a driver who committed a serious traffic offense or who failed to stop at a police signal and that if left unchecked would constitute a danger to other citizens. It should be noted, according to the information, that in the morning the specific motorcycle was received from a Police Station, which was in custody for other criminal offenses under investigation.

But if we cannot do our job, based on Police Orders and Laws, to not let innocent citizens die on the streets of Cyprus or let drugs run rampant in the country and our young people die, then lawlessness will prevail . Policemen today risk their lives to ensure safety in the area. So let everyone take the responsibilities that belong to them. Shadows should be left where there is iniquity and not where the Law is imposed.
