1. When police officers are operating police vehicles under normal day-to-day driving (ie. NOT vehicle pursuits)
They do not owe a duty of care to other drivers on the road
They are not held to the same standard of care as all other drivers on the roadway
Most jurisdictions recognize that the violation of a state or municipal traffic regulation is prima facie proof of negligent conduct so long as the law or regulation was meant to prevent those kinds of damages inflicted on the plaintiff
None of the foregoing are true
2. Innocent-bystander fatalities and injuries relative to police vehicle pursuits remain an under reported portion of police pursuit statistics because:
most police agencies do not report deaths that occur after the chase has ended, even if it is a matter of seconds or if the bystander dies at the hospital
there is no mandatory nationwide system of reporting police pursuit statistics
different police departments have different pursuit policies and define police pursuits in different ways
all of the above are true responses to the question asked
