Haha... if I was working there, they could search my bags over my dead body... or a warrant for my bag.

Wasn't a motor officer killed in Florida during a similar operation for Obama's motorcade?

I go from no asthma issues in 12 years to 5 episodes in one day. My inhaler expired a long time ago lol

I forgot how not being to breathe sucks.

While cool, I don't know if I would call it efficient. I see at least 3 motorcycle officers involved, not to mention the ambulance crew. In my area, 3 officers could be an entire police department....:p

Hey, didn't say cost efficient. Time efficient. Seemed like it (I know all that about how a few minutes don't matter, but still...)

So... Opinions on this code driving? Seems pretty efficient how they work it.

It's pretty well executed. I did think the motorcycle officer in the video exposed himself to more risk personally than necessary, though.

Back in school, my textbook strongly advocated against police escorts under the notion that drivers would initially yield for the first emergency vehicle (e.g. police car) and then get back into the roadway - perhaps then colliding with the second emergency vehicle (e.g. ambulance).

I'm torn on LEO assistance for traffic control. In rural or suburban areas, a properly lit ambulance seems to generally do fine (with limited exception concerning narrow highways without good shoulders; vehicles wait to find a better spot to pull off the road). In urban areas, I've had to periodically turn off the siren and wait for the traffic stoplight to change, typically when a divided roadway with a median is present. That said, I'd rather not have LEO assistance for traffic personally.

I've had a LEO escort 3 times. Twice were code 2 (non emergent driving), they had 2 cars ahead of us and 2 behind us. The one code 3 (lights and siren) escort I had they went ahead of us and closed down the intersection until we passed by. Then they would take off, pass us, and close down the next intersection.

I think it depends on the "escort." If it's like this one where the intersections are being shut down prior to the arrival of the ambulance, I don't see how it's more dangerous. If it's a motorcade with a police car in front and intersections aren't being shut down, then I can't see how it's helpful.

I hate, I hate, I hate when I have just enough data to make me uncomfortable without having enough information to actually make an abuse report.

It's worse than actually knowing, when I know, I can make that :censored::censored::censored::censored: stop, when I'm uncertain, I have to decide if I'm a paranoid :censored::censored::censored::censored::censored::censored::censored: who's about to unjustifiably call down CPS, who god love them, try their best, but have a horribly difficult job and occasionally screw up.

It's complicated by the fact that I know I'm a paranoid :censored::censored::censored::censored::censored::censored::censored:, and yet as a kid, I was never abused, but I was damn near constantly injuring myself.

If a neighboring apartment's smoke detector is doing the low battery beeping, is that just cause to break in and disable it?
