If involved, it can depend on the status that one holds in the area of concern. The law considers highly towards the actions taken, the results from the decisions that were made, and based on their state of mind, their mental and physical health awareness, and the amount of training they've had, all based at the time of the occurrence This may determine whether legal action is deemed necessary, and set within the boundaries of the laws.
