How is it possible to run a red light if the funeral procession does not stop at red lights?

Maybe up in DC things are done differently. In these parts, there is a police escort from the funeral home to the burial - no stopping at lights or anything. And all other cars pull over and stop until the procession has gone by.

That’s a Southern tradition. I’ve had yankees comment upon seeing it happen, because they had not seen such things up north..................

Every funeral procession I’ve been involved in has had a police escort to the cemetery. The reason is just to avoid situations like this. Is this a new cop or just a guy throwing his weight around?
