No OK but there are some circumstances where I think sirens and lights might not be absolutely necessary.

No. The Police aren't paid per arrest but every time you drive after someone you have to balance the risks to yourself, the public and the person you are pursuing.
In this case someone died. From the initial reports I'd imagine he'll be found guilty of death by dangerous or death by careless driving. Either way he'll probably lose his job and license and quite probably his liberty.

Err yes. If you want to discuss the full ins and outs of Police driving it would be nice if you had some form of advanced (Police, Ambulance, Fire Brigade, Armed Forces) driving training with regards to high speed driving.

And some of the facts can't be fabricated. The use of lights etc. is recorded, the ANPR will have recorded when it alerted the driver, recordings of transmissions etc. can't be tampered with and I'd imagine the crash investigation would have been undertaken by a separate force.
