There were a few lawsuits here for police going to fast, no lights or siren. A few deaths and a few million dollar payouts. The head of the police department should be forced out when over a million dollars is paid out IMO.

Replacing him won't be easy though. That's why it's hard to get rid of Police Chiefs or Commisioners. Because replacing them from within is a chore. Especially if they have people who they feel aren't ready to do the job on that level yet.
I witness this at least one or twice a week and I think its just ridiculous. If there is no real emergency then follow the rules of the road like everyone else.
There are alot of people who break the rules of the road though. Lawyers, doctors, etc. Most people in the upper eschlon of society feel hey screw that red light I'm *insert six figure salary career here*. So I don't have to wait. The only difference is, we expect better from our police officers seeing as how they're lawmen.
