So today on my way from work i was driving through 21road in festac as i was about to join the main road to 3rd avenue a police hilux truck and a bullion van rushing through with the siren barring. The van in front and the hilux truck behind. They were having fun pushing innocent road users out of the road. Even at the risk of causing harm to road users.
I was more pained at the fact that they could have injured my baby. Angry, I rushed and followed them to Skye bank at 207. When I confronted the team, they argued that they had their siren on and that they were entitled to the road because they carried money. I also argued that when you carry money not when you are playing fastest driver with other road users. Especially one with a baby (considering what I went through to have this innocent boy.). They then started to plead with me but one very proud one started to talk down on me saying as a woman I was too daring pursuing a bullion van. I abused him right back even with the gun in his hand but I wasn't satisfied. The guys around pleaded with me to leave them alone and I eventually, had to let go.
On my way I called their boss and was told I should just wait for them to pass and even if they were abusing their powers they are without liability. Shocked I wandered, how the English people developed the principle of neighbour, under negligence. And whatever happened to the duty of care in our climes. I say this especially because these were laughing when they pushed me off the road and each time I cursed at them. This could have resulted in an accident and i, other road users and pedestrians could have been killed. Absolute powers corrupts absolutely. What is the resort of a civilian?
