Lights and sirens don’t give cops a license to completely disregard public safety.
It does give them the authority to blow through red lights on their way to a call, especially ones that involve violent crime.

Although the law leaves areas open to interpretation, they should reduce speed at intersections.
Don’t see this going BRPD’s way.

§24. Emergency vehicles; exceptions A. The driver or rider of an authorized emergency vehicle, when responding to an emergency call, or when in the pursuit of an actual or suspected violator of the law, or when responding to, but not upon returning from, a fire alarm, may exercise the privileges set forth in this Section, but subject to the conditions herein stated. B. The driver or rider of an authorized emergency vehicle may do any of the following: (1) Park or stand, irrespective of the provisions of this Chapter. (2) Proceed past a red or stop signal or stop sign, but only after slowing down or stopping as may be necessary for safe operation. (3) Exceed the maximum speed limits so long as he does not endanger life or property. (4) Disregard regulations governing the direction of movement or turning in specified directions. C. The exceptions herein granted to an authorized emergency vehicle shall apply only when such vehicle or bicycle is making use of audible or visual signals, including the use of a peace officer cycle rider's whistle, sufficient to warn motorists of their approach, except that a police vehicle need not be equipped with or display a red light visible from in front of the vehicle. D. The foregoing provisions shall not relieve the driver or rider of an authorized vehicle from the duty to drive or ride with due regard for the safety of all persons, nor shall such provisions protect the driver or rider from the consequences of his reckless disregard for the safety of others.

No, it does not give them authority to “blow through red lights.” Earlier this year a cop across the river killed two high schoolers flying through a red light

The Addis police officer arrested in the fatal Brusly crash that killed two students on New Year's Eve bonded out of the West Baton parish jail on Sunday, Sheriff Mike Cazes said.

Cauthron was pursuing a suspect, Tyquel Zanders, in a pursuit that began in Baton Rouge, when he ran a red light on La. 1 shortly after noon on Dec. 31 in Brusly and crashed into a vehicle. Two Brusly High students, cheerleaders Maggie Dunn, 17, and Caroline Gill, 16, died in the crash.

The grand jury on Friday, Feb. 24, indicted David Cauthron, 42, on two counts of manslaughter, one count of aggravated obstruction of a highway, one count of negligent injury, one count of malfeasance in office, and one count of reckless operation of a vehicle.
