Police rights

[xjustquietx.livejournal.com]

I'm getting nowhere on Google so I'm wondering if anyone here knows the answer. I was walking along Orchard St. when I saw a Somerville Police car going the wrong way. It didn't look like they had to be anywhere fast; their lights weren't on. They were in danger of running into an oncoming car going in the right direction.

Do cops here have that kind of freedom or were these guys just ignorant of/ignoring the rules?

I almost got slammed into by a Somerville cruiser flying the wrong way on School St coming from Highland going toward Medford St. No blue lights. He came screaming over the top of the hill and I almost sideswiped 2 cars getting out of the way. I thought it was just some random drunken fuckhead who almost killed me.

So who was I going to call? The cops? Yeah, right....

the mayor's office, your alderman's office, an alderman-at-large office, one or both of the two local newspapers ... I'd consider all of these if it happened to me.
