But the cop should not have lied (nor did he need to).

BS, he made an illegal left turn against the on-coming traffic which had the green right of way. Even with his little lights flashing which were blocked by traffic in the #1&2 lanes, the BP vehicle had total responsibility to yield to on coming traffic. You can't just assume traffic with the right of way is going to yield. That's utter suicide.

Then he lied about the entire event.

So is driving on full speed when the middle, non turn, lane is not moving.

I don’t know POST procedure for Code 3 left turns. I know observationally that every time I have seen any emergency vehicle has made that left they do, indeed, proceed with great caution.

If that is the rule then we have a better idea why the cops lied. And you are right (but this might be 50/50).

But Ted was an idiot also.
