The
fact
that
police
officers
were
fired
at
in
pursuit
does
not
necessarily
mean
that
at
a
later
stage
,
during
or
after
the
trial
,
their
lives
and
safety
and/or
those
of
their
families
were
in
danger
.
However
,
on
both
points
the
national
authorities
-
in
this
case
the
national
courts
-
should
be
left
some
latitude
to
balance
the
interests
of
the
defence
against
those
of
the
witnesses
(
see
the
Doorson
judgment
previously
cited
,
p.
470
,
para
.
71
,
where
a
reasonableness
test
was
applied
)
.
In
my
opinion
the
Court
of
Appeal
has
not
overstepped
the
mark
in
finding
that
the
risk
of
disclosure
of
the
identity
of
the
witnesses
was
present
and
that
their
fear
for
their
lives
and
safety
or
those
of
their
families
was
justified
in
view
of
the
seriousness
of
the
crimes
committed
and
the
violence
used
.
