I DO have some problems with that type of behavior. First of all, in most jurisdictions, the police cannot run red lights without actually being on an actual emergency. The laws are supposed to apply to everyone, not just non-police. Where would we be if the police could do anything they wanted and not have to answer for it? The same officers who are running red lights when it suits them would think nothing of ticketing you for doing the same thing. Their level of driver training and ability is not neccessarily any better than yours or mine either.
