Calls to protect police in high speed chases from being prosecuted
He was jailed for 12 years at the Old Bailey in March after admitting manslaughter and dangerous driving.
The federation has long pressed for changes in the law to stop officers being prosecuted or facing disciplinary action for driving offences.
Current rules leave police in a grey area. They are allowed to ignore red lights and exceed the speed limit, but there are no legal exemptions for dangerous or careless driving.
The federation’s Tim Rogers told officers in a circular published in June: “Officers should drive in a way which is lawful and does not contravene the laws of dangerous or careless driving.
“Officers are advised not to undertake any manoeuvre which may fall outside the standard of the careful and competent non-police driver.”
The federation stressed the guidance did not mean police should stop chasing criminals who flee in cars or on motorbikes.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission said on Tuesday a file on the pursuit which led to the death of Makayah and his aunt had been passed to the Crown Prosecution Service.
IPCC operations manager Catherine Hall said: “It does not mean that criminal charges will necessarily follow. The CPS will decide whether charges are brought.”
The deaths of Makayah and Ms Cooper devastated their tight-knit family. His 13-year-old twin sisters Yahla and Niyah and their eightyear-old cousin Eva Cochrane, Ms Cooper’s daughter, were also hurt. Makayah, described as a “bright, young star”, had appeared in an Asda advert and had landed a part in a new television series.
