It wasn't illegal. An emergency vehicle is exempt from a lot of traffic laws. This is one of the reasons that emergency vehicles should be given a wide birth, because the exigencies of the job may result in them doing unpredictable things. Again, please note that I am in no way saying the officer was not at fault.
