      They do, but…

      1. There is a greater chance of being punished if you ignore the flashing lights on emergency vehicles. Almost all police cars have dash cams and most fire & EMT vehicles do too, so if you’re not immediately caught, your fine might come in the mail.

      2. The measure suggested in this video don’t work for emergency vehicles, unless you want a completely separate network for them to drive on.
