Police didn't respond even though they reported that they had been abducted by their boyfriend... Family members are suing the government = South Korea

The family of a victim who was hit and killed by a car after crossing a highway in a drunken state after a fight with her boyfriend has filed a claim for damages, saying, ``They reported that their daughter had been abducted, but the police were not dispatched.'' compensation lawsuit
was raised. According to the Korean Bar Association on the 25th, the family of Ms. A, a woman who died after crossing the Honam Expressway after getting into a fight with her boyfriend in Gwangju in 2022, recently announced that
A lawsuit was filed against the Republic of Korea for damages. At the time, Mr. A reported that he was being abducted, but the police were not dispatched.
On November 18, 2022, Mr. A got into a fight while riding in a car with his girlfriend.
When the lover pulled the car onto the highway, Mr. A said, ``I'm being abducted in the passenger seat of my car. Could you please come to the scene?''
and reported it to the police. Mr. A's girlfriend, who was next to her, said, ``You don't have to come. This woman is drunk...'' and hung up.
The police were not dispatched at the time, and the two men then stopped their car on the shoulder of the expressway where there was a bus stop.
They continued to fight, slapping each other on the cheek. Mr. A, who was in a state of inebriation, continued to engage in dangerous behavior such as getting out of the car and grabbing a taxi running on the highway to stop it, and although his girlfriend tried to stop him, Mr. A stopped him.
Mr. A crossed the highway and was hit by a car and died. In this case, the boyfriend said, ``He continued to grab hold of Mr. A in an attempt to control him as he reported the abduction to the police and tried to get a taxi.''
Although he was charged with manslaughter, the trial court acquitted him, saying, ``A was trying to stop Mr. A from dangerous behavior.''

He filed a lawsuit against the government for damages in the range of 300 million won (approximately 30 million yen), claiming that the police's disregard for the incident led to the fatal accident.
Prior to this, it was learned that the taxi driver whom Mr. A had caught on the expressway had also reported it to the police.

``Because civil and criminal trials related to this case are ongoing, we cannot make them public.'' A police source said, ``The criminal trial against his girlfriend has not yet been finalized, and related
It is difficult to make this public because a civil lawsuit has already been filed.''However, there were appropriate reasons why the police were not dispatched.''
