citation for wasson v chief constable of ruc(1987)?

The power to use force \n\nWhenever they are carrying out their "ordinary" function of preserving the peace, the RUC are not entitled to use force. They must act with restraint, resisting pressure rather than applying 'it. Even when controlling crowds or patrolling a procession or parade they must not apply force in an active manner. If they do so, they can be sued for assault. \n\nHowever, if the police are preventing crime or effecting a lawful arrest, they can use "such force as is reasonable in the circumstances" (s.3(1) of Criminal Law Act (NI) 1967). The burden of proving that the force used was reasonable lies on the police. For example, in Wasson v Chief Constable of the RUC (1987), since the RUC could not prove that their version of how Mr Wasson came to be injured by a plastic bullet was more likely to be true than Mr Wasson's version, they were held liable to pay compensation. But it seems that, even in the absence of any proof that the police knew that the person they fired at was committing an offence (such as driving a stolen car), a judge may still regard the use of real bullets as reasonable force whenever someone drives through a vehicle checkpoint. In Magill v Ministry of Defence (1988) it was held that a soldier's act in firing at a 15-year-old driver was reasonable use of force in the prevention of crime. A police officer would probably enjoy a similar immunity in such circumstances, though much would depend on the particular features of each case. \n\nIn relation to police powers expressly conferred by the PACE (NI) Order 1989, article 88 says that the police "may use reasonable force, if necessary, in the exercise of the power". The term "reasonable" suggests that the force used must be in proportion to the gain the police hope to achieve through exercising the power. The term "necessary" implies that other means of exercising the power must be attempted first. This would seem to impose a stricter test than that contained in the 1967 Act, but as yet no court has ruled on how the two provisions inter-relate.

Don't bother with the media.  Don't bother with looking for case law.\n\nSpend a few minutes looking around the New York Department of Criminal Justice DCJS Office of Public Safety website at:\n\nhttp://criminaljustice.state.ny.us/ops/index.htm\n\nAnd get yourself an education.  It could be that what you're describing is perfectly proper within your state.  If it is, but you still don't think this officer should be working unsupervised, contact the chief of police with your concerns.  Some would suggest that if the chief does not satisfy your frustrations you should go to the governing body for your city (city council, etc), but I don't know how useful that would be.  They will only know what you tell them and what the chief tells them, and who do you think they will believe in the long run?\n\nIf talking to the chief doesn't changes things, I guess it would be best to tell the chief that are you concerned enough that you will take the issue public and will speak with the City Council.  If you actually do that, and see no changes, then I'd say the media is a fair bet.  \n\nI'd check out the website first.  Then I'd talk to the chief if I was still concerned.

In a law library. The cite is 7 N.J.Super. 81. A reference librarian should be able to help you find a reporter that includes the case.

In Ontario, that is correct since a 1996 Court of Appeal decision (Regina v. Jacob).  I believe that there was a similar ruling in New York in the early 90s.
