That's the problem though ,acting irresponsibly can be very subjective and leave emergency drivers wondering if they speed to a heart attack or a bomb threat will they get prosecuted if a pedestrian gets in the way .That's what happened to PC Dougal ,he responded to a ANPR event hit a girl and got sent to prison .Turned out that the ANPR was at fault but he still got sent to prison for basically doing his job
