Lights are a more effective warning than a siren. Lights are silent and a siren can provide warning to suspects when the police would like to catch them.

Can police speed?
Police officers are supposed to follow the same rules as the rest of the drivers on the road *unless* they have their lights/sirens on. At that point, it is up to the police officer to judge, based on the situation and road conditions, what a safe speed is (in other words, they don't have a speed limit at that point, other than their own judgment.) Of course, the old saying goes "You may out run the cop, but you can't out run motorola"
