The opinion of the Court was delivered by WILENTZ, C.J.

We face the question whether police officers in pursuit of a vehicle that has failed to heed their command to stop are immune from liability for injuries resulting from the pursuit. The same question was raised in Roll v. Timberman, 94 N.J.Super. 530, 229 A.2d 281 (App.Div.), certif. denied, 50 N.J. 84
