Let's play devil's advocate and say the cop did turn on his lights and escort the couple to the hospital, and let's say there was an accident and the woman lost her baby, and sustained injuries.
The city would get the shit sued out of them.
I think the safest play would be to keep the car out of traffic and call for an emergency services, people that are trained for this stuff. bring the hospital to her as it were.
If they were able to make it to the hospital with seven minutes to spare, then an ambulance would have been able to cover the same distance in the same time.
but then no one gets made into a hero for making the safe play......but giving them a ticket? man, that doesn't look good in the papers.
