This shit pisses me off. Here in Chicago, these mofos, blow stops signs and red lights anytime, whenever they want.
I read about some drunk Chicago cop that killed a kid a few days ago and drove off. When was arrested, they waited four hours to do a breathalyzer test. Guess what'll happen?

both were on a call, ambulance driver didn't let the police drive pass him, because he himself was rushing to the hospital, so the police stopped him...
there is no law which defines which of the two have the right to drive first
however, there is a law for delaying an ambulance
- obviously the super troopers call wasn't too important that they could stop and citateSamuraicicle
- And apparently, ... the ambulance wasn't running red light and sirenghandolf

depending on the type of ambulance & situation with the patient, i believe the ambulance may have no right to disobey traffic laws such as speeding and lights/signals, but i'm not exactly sure
- but i do fully agree that this situation as viewed is completely fuckedversion3
- they do, and so does police********

lots of info about this event there: http://www.wusa9.com/news/column…
UNDATED - There are more details about a confrontation earlier this week between an Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper and a paramedic in Okfuskee County. The incident was caught on tape as the trooper accuses the ambulance driver of not pulling over when the patrol car was trying pass him. What does the law say about who has the right of way?
It was Sunday along Highway 62 in Paden. Kenyada Davis is behind the cell phone camera. His mother was being transported by Muscogee Creek Nation EMS to a hospital in Prague.

In a statement obtained by The News On 6, paramedic Maurice White said the patrol car came within three feet of the ambulance with its lights on, eventually passing while telling the driver over the emergency radio: "You should consider checking you rearview mirrors."
After taking care of the original call, the trooper waited for the ambulance and pulled it over. White says in his statement: "The officer got out of his vehicle in a state of rage."
Read the Paramedic's Report
Read a witness's statementA witness, who declined to go on camera, told The News On 6 the same story.
"He was yelling, screaming. He was irrational to me," said witness Diana Walkup.
OHP says before the home video was recording, the paramedic assaulted the state trooper. But, Diana Walkup says the paramedic never touched anyone until the patrolman grabbed his arm.
She says it was the trooper who was out of control.
"We thought, my God, is he going to pull a gun? That's really what we thought. We didn't know if he was fixing to pull a gun or what," said witness Diana Walkup.
So, who had the right of way? The Creek Nation admits the ambulance did not have on its lights and sirens, while the trooper had on his lights, but no sirens.
The News On 6 couldn't find anything that gives one emergency vehicle the right of way over another, but we did find one state law that says: "Every person who willfully delays...an emergency medical technician...in the performance of...care and treatment...is guilty of a misdemeanor."
Investigators aren't commenting, but Diana Walkup believes the trooper was out of line.
"I was horrified. I couldn't believe it. These gentlemen were trying to do their job and they were held up," said witness Diana Walkup.
The trooper's dash-cam video is in the custody of an assistant district attorney in Okfuskee County. She says it will not be released because it's part of the investigation.

I want to extend a special "thank you" to Cole Cash, who saw the first news coverage of this event and told me about the report.

I realize these video incidents are relatively few and far between... but they really do make me question the employee hiring/ process and how it is they are attracting and employing so many idiotic assholes.
- I guess nobody wants the job********
- I suppose you need a certain kind of asshole to deal with assholes with guns in the US********
- I wonder what the NRA would say?********
- "MORE GUNS... BIGGER GUNS"********
- cops are almost the same as thugs, theres no option : you need thugs to fight thugs.********
