Do police have to obey the traffic laws?
Law enforcement officers do have exemptions to traffic law when they are responding to an emergency call or when in pursuit of an actual or suspected violator of the law. According to Colorado Revised Statue 42-4-108 (2)(a) “The driver of an authorized emergency vehicle may park or stand, irrespective of the provisions of this title.”
