Here's some direct quotes from those links you claim I didn't bother reading:
"In Coral Springs, 128 police and fire vehicles from several agencies have been caught by the city's red-light cameras since Aug. 15. All but five were dismissed because their emergency lights were on when they went through the light."


"Most officers running red lights are doing so because they're on a call, McHugh said."


"The town started fining all red-light runners in September. So far, only one officer in an unmarked unit from South Bay has been ticketed, Engle said."


"Since cameras came to South Florida about two years ago, cities have been wrestling with how to handle violations by cop cars. For the most part, each one is reviewed and ultimately dismissed if the officer was on a call or responding to an emergency."


"McCurrie (in a squad car) was going straight through the intersection of Northeast 56th Street and Dixie Highway when Meyer was making a left turn; both had green lights, but Meyer did not have a green arrow." Which means the officer actually had the right-of-way with or without lights or siren and the person you'd like to paint as a "victim" actually caused the accident.

So - please - don't confuse YOURSELF with any more 'facts'. Your post is starting to look more like a troll post all the time, and providing links to this kind of information and imagining it backs up your claims of police abuse just makes you look more and more like a basket case.

And let me quote you: "My issue with your response: you assumed I was in the way and inhibiting law enforcement."

According to your own post you WERE in the way. Which explains why (as per your original post): "a police officer approached in a marked squad car, blew his "horn", turned on the sirens and did the microphone/intercom thingamajig at me. That intercom thing was LOUD. He yelled, "GET OUT OF THE WAY! NOW!"

But yeah - if your posts here are any example - I can see where that might confuse you.

Makes sense because you can see that the intersection is not empty or your vision is blocked enough to create doubt about the presence of approaching vehicles; your earlier posts indicate that you would wait at an intersection regardless of the presence of other traffic until you got the go signal from a traffic light.

In NYC we now have a few intersections designed for bike, cars, and peds, but mostly not. So I prefer to proceed safely through the light rather than be there when it changes to green and all hell breaks loose. Better for me, better for the cars.

In the UK I stop at red lights, if I want to cut past a line of traffic I hop off the bike and walk it along the crossing instead. It isn't unusual to see cyclists going through red lights here although it can be risky when people coming through green lights don't expect to see people coming through the red light.
