That's a red herring argument though. The cop running the red light was driving recklessly. Emergency Vehicles must slow and properly clear intersections before proceeding through. If he had hit a civilian vehicle he would have been found at fault for the accident. The officer should at least be held accountable for his negligence.
Before anyone accuses me of monday morning quarterbacking, remember i've been driving an emergency vehicle for four years. I've never hit anything responding to a call. On the other hand, i've seen several cops hit things responding to confirmed bullshit at inappropriate speeds. The cop fucked up.
