Re: Silly question

That's an example of why I mentioned in another post that generalising statements should be qualified. Things in NZ may or may not be the same as in other parts of the world.
I draw my experience from my time in the emergency services, where we attended to many cases like the one you describe and the follow-up (e.g., as witnesses in court). You have subjective knowledge of one event; we've been involved in hundreds of those in a professional capacity, hence my comment that, at least where I worked, the system was generally fair and even-handed.
