Then he turned his lights on and drove through the red light and then turned in to a convenience store parking lot just on the other side of the intersection. I happened to be going to the same place and got there after the light turned green. Turns out apparently his thirst for a 20oz coke was the emergency. :smilelol5:
I saw something similar to this the other morning on my way into work (6:15AM).

I was waiting at a light, Sheriff pulls up to the other direction, stops, looks both ways, then blows the light. (The side streets were still green, hence how I knew he didn't have it)

He then pulls into a fast food place on the other side of it.

No lights or sirens were used at all. :roll:

I have seen this at least a dozen times by the Sheriff's department in my neighborhood. Sometimes they throw on their lights, sometimes they don't. It occurs most often at nighttime. Also, their lack of usage of turn signals, and excessive speed also bothers me. I'd understand if they were running hot, but 90% of the time, there is no indication that they are doing so.
I've seen this stuff as well & I'm thinking about it.

How many people, even at your busiest intersection, are there really sitting there? 10-15-20 tops? Multiply it times 2 for the opposite side of the intersection. You've got maybe 20-30-40 people that could have POTENTIALLY witnessed the event. I say potentially because how often do people pay 100% attention.

I won't take into account the cross traffic, people in motion on the lanes the officer is crossing, because they will not have seen that he wasn't running hot all the way up to & thru the intersection. And if there really is more than 20 people at any one intersection, it's during high traffic times & cross traffic wouldn't probably allow the event to occur.

Just silly analyzing my brain does . . .
