Yesterday, around midnight, in Somerville, I was about to cross an intersection on a green light. A cop car came from no where along the cross street, turned on its siren briefly just to get past the intersection. I braked as hard as I could, ABS came on, and I had to be two feet from crashing into it.
Today, I was second in line at a red light in Brighton and a cop car stopped behind me. It turned on its siren, so the car in front of me and I drove out into the intersection to let the cop through. The car in front of me was pretty close to being T-boned by a car from the cross-street.
In both cases, the cop car turned off its siren right after the intersection. I know this is just the way cops are these days, but is there really nothing we law-abiding taxpayers can do about their reckless behavior?
