Under the state transportation code, officers driving a vehicle equipped with lights and sirens can run a red light when responding to an emergency call, pursuing an actual or suspected violator of the law, responding to a fire alarm, conducting a police escort, and directing or diverting traffic for public safety purposes.
Apparently, some LEO's see themselves as being above the law.
Anybody who drives a good deal has seen it many times. A police car passes you at high speed with no lights nor siren on.
I have accelerated many times to keep pace with them, maintaining a safe distance the whole time. I have never been stopped.
If I do get stopped, I will allow the officer to write me a ticket and then I will make a citizen's arrest and write him a ticket.
We routinely run red lights after honking our horns slowing to look, and then proceeding.
My point is there are some that abuse the ability, but most are carefully hurrying to do thier jobs, protect people.
