can police speed without sirens/lights i tried searching, found nothing. just wondering, can a cop speed without their lights or sirens on? I believe I heard that they could not, and as such if i were to get a speeding ticket and the only way to prove that I was speeding would be for the cop to admit to speeding without lights/sirens, what would happen? would a cop admit that? is it wrong that they did that? just interested |

i'd imagine they couldn't speed without lights OR sirens on. i have been told by a friend who got into an accident with a cop car that they were at fault b/c the cop had just his lights on, and that's all the need (either or) - not sure its logical that a cop can speed without some kind of warning system, as other road users would never expect a car speeding like that - especialy an emergency vehicle (which is there to uphold the law) |
did u get a ticket? |

They don't need the lights, I've been told by a cop. But take that with a grain of salt. Or you can just take first hand experience, when i tailed a cop doing 120+ down Shaughnessy. |
They can do whatever tha fuckk they wantss :2finger: |
No, they do not need to use lights and sirens, which is logical since often times they would not want to alert the parties at the location they are proceeding too in advance of arrival. Quote:

I can't speak for other agencies, but if we get into a collision on the way to a call/going after someone and can't justify the driving behaviour every step of the way, we are held every bit as accountable in terms of civil and criminal liability as anyone else. Then we also have our internal investigation to deal with. |

ya, my friends' accidents was an interesting one, she was driving through an intersection on a green, cop comes through the intersection on a red for him, but with lights or sirens (can't recall, it was just one of them, i think it was just lights), they collided, she was found 100% at fault, just good info to know that. what i would find interesting would be if a cop is speeding for no real reason, what would happen to them, for example if they could just pull someone over, but instead they want to 'ghost' them for a while, is that justified? just really interesting stuff, this :) |

Another traffic enforcement example would be sitting on the side of a quiet road where a driver would have plenty of room to speed off, where if after being passed by a speeding vehicle and the road behind him is clear (minimal other traffic), you commonly wouldn't trigger lights until you'd caught up to the vehicle. Obviously this changes with more traffic around that would need to be alerted to your presence, but you can see that in any situation there are a number of factors that could lead to an officer using different combinations of lights/sirens. |
