So next time you are in serious trouble - robbed, attacked, in need of urgent help, call a plumber.

Thanks Grit... I now have a bit of cucumber lodged in my sinus from snorting so hard.

I didn't go through all the posts, so I don't know if anyone mentioned this. In most areas, police cars and police officers are exempt from all traffic laws. However, if there are injuries or deaths due to the officer's actions, it will be investigated as to whether or not he/she was doing something he shouldn't have been.

But, you are right, traffic is supposed to stop for people in a marked crosswalk and they always have right of way at all intersections. If they cross in the middle of a block, it is jaywalking and they can get a ticket, but that doesn't mean that someone can run them over.

If a police officer is performing his/her duties actively they are allowed to disregard normal traffic laws for example run red lights and not necessarily with the red and blues going.

There actually very strict about what they can do an when they can do it.

They do have protocols to follow but also have great latitude in performing them.
