I do think that the people you cut off were, as evidenced by the brake lights and screeching tires, unaware of your intent to not turn. I admire your service and truly appreciate it, but I abhor your poor example. If you were heading to an emergency, I could understand, but since you were in no hurry all the way to the bridge I can safely assume that was not the case. Keep it safe out there!
It sounds like in this instance the police officer was wrong. Sometimes however, officers going to emergencies will ride without their lights and sirens in order to get through traffic easier. Sometimes the lights and sirens become a hindrance.

I'm sorry this happened to you, as the way you describe it sounds like the deputy was just ignoring the law.

Although, come to think of it, some of our closest friends are azzholes, so either way it'll work.
