re: Do you have a problem with police running red lights when NOT in pursuit?

To be fair, they could still be answering a call. They don’t run lights and sirens for every call. I won’t deny that some officers do that just because, though.

Wrong....lights signal for all vehicles to stop and yield to you.

You are not stopping the vehicles....you are only proceeding through tragic control while still yielding to traffic that has the right of way.

It's really simple.
Either follow the rules like everyone else, or put your lights on. It's really not a big deal to put your lights on and get to the non-emergency call sooner. Cop speeds down a street without his lights on, possibly hits someone crossing the street b/c they didn't expect someone to be going that fast. Cop runs red light after he thinks it's ok to do so and doesn't have his lights on, runs into car who just got a turning arrow.
Follow the rules or put your lights on.
If it's not that big of an emergency, then you don't need to run the red light, or go 50 in a 25, without your lights on.
