Permission to drive freely

On the way to work today, I was sitting at a stop light when a motorcycle cop came zipping by, squaked his siren once, and stopped in the middle of the intersection. He proceeded to dismount his vehicle and make a gesture directing everyone to go through the red light. I think it caught everyone off guard, though, because no one obeyed his initial gestures, so he had to do them again. Eventually, everyone ran the red light. On purpose. But with permission.

That was pretty swell. I hope it happens more often.
