I was a career NYS Trooper. You are wrong. Police and emergency vehicles are subject to the same laws you and I are EXCEPT when operating in an emergency. I can also assure you, that for the NYSP anyway, complaints always get investigated. I knew one guy that sat the desk for 5 years over his driving.
The one qualifier I will mention is that the average road cop is trying to balance his concern over getting a complaint about his speed and his concern over getting a complaint over his not getting to where he has to be fast enough. When someone calls for service, a car accident or burglary or whatever and it's not a red lights and siren type thing, they still get really PO'd if it takes you 45 minutes to get there. I've had people people complain it took me took long to get to them. I've had people complain about pretty much everything I've ever done. You don't want to run lights and siren everywhere because that can cause accidents. So you try and find a happy medium that doesn't exist.
I get what you are saying, but consider that I was once at the SP Academy in Albany and was told at 9:30AM that I HAD to be in County Court in Canton NY by noon as I had been subpoenaed by a judge that was not exactly an understanding cop lover. That's 200 miles in a little over 2 hours. How do you make anyone happy in that situation?

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
