I do this stuff late at night, and Im not a cop, I dont see what the big deal is. I rarely wait for a light to turn at 3am when no one else is around.

What bothers me about it is that if the cop saw you make a harmless illegal u-turn or ran a red light with no one around, he'd happily bust you for it. If it's wrong for me to do it why can he?

To be honest, this isn't such a hard question. The cop has to go through intense and frequent driving training. He's a better driver than you are. Our system says a law's a law, but if it were possible to give better drivers more leeway, I'm for it, and this does seem like a step in that direction.

My issue is the bigger picture of power abuse.

i do not doubt that they are better drivers than us. the problem is not that they drive bad, it is that we do. sirens often panic these less-skilled drivers, and they may make a mistake.
