Are you basing this on seeing a police car stop at a red light, turn on his lights, go through the intersection then turn his lights off? If so, this is a common occurence. There are different levels of responses to a call. One of those responses is to travel with lights off, but when required to keep proceeding, they turn them on. Yes, they are skipping ahead, but what you don't realize is they are actually going to a call. Not all calls require lights and sirens blazing at all times.

I am basing this on the fact that I saw them myself turn them on, go through the lights, go behind a Timies, turn them off and then stop in the parking lot.
And I doubt that they just happened to get the call canceled as soon as they got to the enterance of the Timmies or that there was a call at the Timmies, unless it came from someone saying there is only one boston cream left.
