These guys were shooting video for a news channel to use to get viewers. Viewers equals commercials which equals profit.

This was not research. This was entertainment tv

Williamson and Yarnell shot back to The Weather Channel live

watched their stuff as it happened a million times

that's part of the warning system

ETA: yes they should still abide by traffic laws... fairly certain they don't get special consideration even if they have flashing yellow lights

So what about all of the other chasers who don't get their streams and video shown on big TV networks? What about the storm chasers who stream becomes vital during outbreaks?

Like I have already said, legit, trained storm chasers play an important role of verifying if a tornado is on the ground and showing a live stream of it. People are more likely to react if they see a tornado is on the ground or hear that there is one confirmed.
