In this case, it's because we've all seen or know of cops who do act 
this way. The court house parking lot in the town I grew up in had a 'no 
left turn' sign when leaving it. It had a good reason for the sign, the 
signal light was just to the right an when traffic was stopped long 
enough to allow you to turn left there was often a line of cars blocking 
you.

None of the cops obeyed that sign. Not a one that I saw over the 20 
years I lived there. When asked about it, some would respond that they 
knew they were safe, others responded with 'there is a traffic sign there?'


Since you support this group of people breaking the law, which they were 
as there is no exemption on the record at this time, who should have to 
follow it? What about a doctor, on call but not in a marked ambulance? A 
mother with a sick child at home? Who has to obey the law if the police 
do not?
