Will Supreme Court Put Brakes
High-speed police chases are fodder for cable news, but they kill more than 350 people on average every year. On Monday, for the first time in 20 years, the Supreme Court considers limiting how far police can go in trying to catch a fleeing suspect.

New system for NSW police comp
The complaints system used by the New South Wales Force is being overhauled.
A trial of the new, two-tiered system will be rolled-out at 12 police stations across the state.
Complaints of serious breaches made against police officers will still be referred to the Police Integrity Commission and the Police Association.

"If it is a more serious complaint about misconduct, or about corruption, it will be dealt with more thoroughly," he said.
"If it's a complaint about customer service, about someone not returning a phone call, then that will be dealt with more quickly and effectively on the spot."
Mr Campbell expects the new system to dramatically cut paperwork, saying 50 per cent of complaints are classified as minor.
"This is all about ensuring that police officers are on the front-line fighting crime and spending less time doing paperwork, and being worn down by petty complaints which can easily be dealt with at the police station, by that police officer's boss," he said.
