the law is thrown out in court , there are many laws abiding to traffic , must be clearly marked ..... MUST use sirens in route if they encounter the need ... civilians http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/4513.21 ,http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/4511.041. i have a pet peeve with that , parma only uses lights all over community till the have to ask someone to move, or wanna blow a light instead of waiting when not in persuit . it is dangerous to the citizens of the community.persuit of misdemeanor over 10 miles about the speed limit is in violation,the new law was resinded.http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/4511.24, for the safety of civilization. there are alot of laws that are there , that are commonly overlooked. also you will always see troopers in their Smokey because in order to give a citation the officer must be in complete uniform in the state. which no one ever follows that.
