You would think that the police or ambulance services could change the signal rather than creep through an intersection endangering themselves and the public. I saw the same thing this morning- but it was only a close call. A Camaro and a Mercedes doing fifty nearly creamed a cop- but he would have been hard to see as he was blocked by trucks.
This particular intersection was covered in traffic cameras that can photograph your car after the light turns red and you enter the intersection, tell it's speed, note the time and save the data in a file that can be automatically linked to driver's license numbers that can mail you a ticket. But a cop or an ambulance can't change the signal- there isn't any money in that sort of technology.
In the People's Republic of Montgomery County, Maryland "safety" is spelled "r e v e n u e".
