This was probably taken a little too far if he was just trying to stop another collison from happening.

Well, that unfortunate that he crashed. But if he was trying to use his lights to get someone to pull over, and they get mad at him for that, what's he supposed to do?!

[7th ALLYSON:)]

well if your in a chase im pretty sure you should have the right not to stop but i guess it could get very dangerous too!

thank goodness that a cop finally got fined for doing something illegal. I hope everyone is okay that was in the crash.

Haha irony! I don't think he should've been fined though if he was going after a criminal.. He can't just let him get away. THey should be more worried about catching the criminal then running a red light. But it's understandable. Just want safety.

i dont think he should of gotten fined. he was doing the right thing.

[6Freund]

Fine the police officer for doing his job? Are you joking me?

[5 cesar]

I get the fact that every one needs to be treated fairly, even if your a cop. The cop was doing his job that is ridiculious.

[7JordanV]

He shouldn't have gotten fined.  He was just trying to do his job.

he should not have got fined sence he was a cop trying to stop someone else from posibly causing injury of death.
