You changed the argument to an anti-police argument.  I am responding to your latest emphasis. 

"innocent people die every year as a result of police pursuits "faster than the speed limit"

Police require these exemptions to do their jobs; you and the clowns telling their BFFs that they are on the way to the beauty parlor or the spa do not.

Police have been responding to emergencies since one-way radios were put into police cars clear back in 1928.  Cell phones and laptops do the same thing, only better.

How many people's lives have been saved because of police radios in the past 90 years?  

How many firemen have saved lives and property because of radios and now cell phones?

You want to ignore the good and concentrate on your perception of the bad.
