In reply to David C.

Agreed … meaning he’s guilty via either argument and therefore should have no chance of prevailing in a lawsuit … in a justice system, that is; in a gamesmanship system, there’s always a chance, sigh.

In reply to ras. It's true that you should be able to handle a siren... but beyond that, it's rather implausible that a guy going 80-90 MPH in what looks like a partially residential area was going to stop for the red light if only the officer hadn't distracted him.

If you couldn’t handle lights and sirens, then you were never fit to drive and you held your license fraudulently. Lights and sirens are routinely encountered by all drivers as a normal driving condition.
