If this were in the US, it would have been called a "pedestrian involved accident" and the driver might have gotten a ticket. Maybe.

    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-61890557 This state attorney general got "misdemeanor traffic" charges after drunkenly hitting and killing a man. He claims it was a deer but the guy's glasses were in his car after the hit!

    state attorney general

    I'm sure that has nothing to do with his job title and every Barista would get the same leniency....

    It's no secret that those involved in law here often feel they're above it, and in fairness since enough of their coworkers feel the same I guess they technically (or effectively, may be the right word) are. Not that they should be.
