No, that is against the law in most jurisdictions. So says my brother the fireman, and my brother the policeman.

I do not think so. It is illegal for them to do so. And from what I've seen they use the sirens and lights as little as possible.

Well it is illegal, but in this little ole town they do what they want. My sister was married before and all the relatives were cops. I was coming home one morning at around 3 am(worked night shift) and I seen the lights coming up, I pulled over and it was my brother in laws two cousins. They get out and just start chatting me up saying that they heard I got a divorce and just wanted to see how I was doing (they were flirting) They never stopped me for any reason but to chat. So it goes by towns I think, they would never do something like that in a city.

Maybe as a rookie, a couple of times. But crossing an intersection like that is dangerous. When you are in a patrol unit, you don't have to do anything to be noticed. Besides, running your bar and whistle quickly gets old. Most of the time, when they run 33 traffic to a call, they run silent. They only use this to gain right-of-ways, so I can see where the misunderstanding is.
