I still think though, should a stolen vehicle strike and kill someone, the criminal would still be responsible, simply because he stole it in the first place. But it would be an interesting conundrum based on the idea that OnStar and local law enforcement had to use the equipment to stop the stolen vehicle and as they were using it, someone was killed. How culpable would they be at that point?
But...I can't wait to see what the legals here have to say on this. |
that's what i was thinking, however like you said.....the person wouldn't have been killed had the thief stole the car (her argument). HOWEVER, the person also wouldn't have been killed had onstar not shut the car off (my argument).
