On the contrary, the Illinois Code testifies in my favor. The Mayor of Chicago has privileges you do not have. Does that bother you? Are you surprised?
What?!
Are you saying the mayor’s limo is an authorized emergency vehicle?
May your chains rest lightly upon you and may we forget we ever knew you.”
Rahm Emanuel does not have the privilege of running red lights and ignoring speed limits. He's not a cop responding to an "emergency" or a fireman, or his limo an ambulance responding to an emergency. He is merely an elected official.
Since when is routine travel for a mayor "an emergency"? The law you brought does not make the exceptions you are looking for. Perhaps somewhere else in code of law you could be able to find what you are looking for? Keep looking.
But so far, can you tell that by law, that when not responding to an emergency, and/or using lights/sirens, that police vehicles, including patrol vehicles are by law required to observe traffic laws?
Some states spell that part out better. That this aspect of law is rarely enforced in respect to law enforcement patrol vehicles does not make it "legal".
As it is, I'm not sure if you can't admit to being wrong, or if you are actually stupid enough to think you are correct.
Either way...not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer, are you?
Bow, peasant, bow.
