Court ponders police chase lia
Can a police officer be sued for hitting into a fleeing car during a high-speed chase and causing an accident that leaves the driver badly injured or dead?
The Supreme Court took up that question today in a case from rural Georgia, and the likely answer appeared to be "no."
The case has drawn wide attention because it could set national rules to limit police chases. More than 300 people per year are killed in police chases.

Police assure of no cover-up i
CITY OF SAN FERNANDO -- Police Provincial Director Leonardo Espina said Monday there is no whitewash in the investigation of the missing narra flitches.
Espina said the Provincial Police Office (PPO) is conducting an "intensive," "procedural," and "impartial" investigation on the missing 747 pieces of narra flitches with a volume of 12,700 board feet.
"It would be premature to comment at this point in time but I assure you that everything will be done by the book and that everything will be looked into," he said.
He also stressed that police officers behind the missing narra flitches would be dealt with accordingly.
Earlier, the owner of the alleged "illegally confiscated" narra flitches in Guagua town filed administrative charges against a retired police colonel and four police officers for infidelity in the custody of evidence, serious irregularity in the performance of duty and grave misconduct.
In his complaint, Cris David, owner of the narra flitches, identified the police officers as Chief Inspector Rodney Louie Raymund Baloyo IV, Senior Inspector Maharlika Oscar Villasis, Senior Police Officer 3 Rodrigo Purisima and SPO2 Eden Samson Gopez, and retired police colonel George Ernest Pinpin.
Aside from the recommendation of Senior Inspector Virginia Miguel that was noted by Superintendent Petronio Retirado, deputy director for operation of the Pampanga police, it was also suggested that a separate charge of negligence be filed against Pinpin; grave dishonesty be charged against Balayo IV; and grave misconduct or conduct unbecoming of a police officer be instituted against Villasis and Gopez.
The complaints stemmed from the order of Assistant Provincial Prosecutor Otto Macabulos directing Espina to release to the possession of David the 975 pieces of narra flitches "illegally" seized by combined operatives of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and the police from David's residence in Guagua and that were placed in custody of the PPO.
