90503 is right.
Tactics can dictate lights and sirens. Even calls that an officer can "have the lights on" doesn't mean they want to. If I was driving to the area of an active shooter, I certainly do not want him to know where I am when I am arriving on scene.
We constantly have to defend our actions because there are many people who have no idea what law enforcement is about yet give their uneducated opinions anyway.
I guarantee the police officers in your area know the laws much better than you think they do. There is a difference between the letter and spirit of the law.

I'm glad you didn't take that post negatively and what you say makes total sense.... So want to move to Gainesville to show cops here how it's done? LOL
I did see (about 2 weeks ago) a black dodge charger behind me one day and it was going fast! It swerved out of my lane and then went past me. Right behind it was a cop chasing. In the next 45 seconds about 12 to 15 cars were blaring sirens passing me chasing this car.
Possibly the coolest thing I've seen officers ever do! Huge respect  |
