一名新西兰军官因在111起举报的火器威胁中殴打一名男子而获准清白,因为该事件被认为是合理和合法的。 A New Zealand officer was cleared for hitting a man during a 111-reported firearm threat, as the incident was deemed justified and lawful.

新西兰莫图埃卡的一名警官因在多次接到枪支威胁的 111 电话后，于 2024 年 3 月驾车撞向一名男子而被独立警察行为管理局批准。 An officer in Motueka, New Zealand, was cleared by the Independent Police Conduct Authority for driving into a man in March 2024 after multiple 111 calls reported a firearm threat. 该军官的行动被认为是正当的,因为真正相信该男子有武装,尽管受到低速冲击(在10公里/小时以下),没有受伤。 The officer’s actions were deemed justified due to a genuine belief the man was armed, despite the low-speed impact—under 10 km/h—and no injuries. 后来,警察在该男子的车辆中发现了一把空中手枪,该人因展示类似火器的物品和在影响下驾驶而被定罪。 Police later found an air pistol in the man’s vehicle, who was convicted for displaying a firearm-like object and driving under the influence. 虽然该委员会批评第三名警官沟通不畅,但认为该答复是合法和相称的。 The IPCA upheld the response as lawful and proportionate, though it criticized a third officer for poor communication. 当局强调在高风险情况下迅速作出注重安全的决定的重要性。 Authorities emphasized the importance of rapid, safety-focused decisions in high-risk situations.
