One of the requirements in the First Aid class was that you were required to give assistance in an actual emergency. People were actually sued for not doing so



That is not a link. It is not informative because of several things.

First, the fact that it might be a requirement to agree to something in order to get some benefit does not mean that it is the law.

I am not arguing that it is not the law. I am saying that without a link to the law or a quotation from someone expected to be knowledgable about the law (cop, lawyer, EMC, etc.), it is not informative.

The second point is that whether a civil suit is a possibility has nothing to do with criminal law. They are two different things.

I don't know where the argument is, I am not arguing. I am merely telling what I have personally experienced.

BTW, I heard the phone call from the driver on his cell phone to 911 and he should have stopped until a State Trooper arrived on the scene. But you can't teach people how to use common sense, or even hold them responsible.

Sorry I didn't link any of this. I wasn't aware that linking is a requirement for comments. Have a good day.
