Are you aware why they switch the sirens off once they have crossed the
junction?




I am sure the official reason will be that it so they are not heard by the
criminals at the scene they are going to but we all know that they misuse
it all the time.

Well*you are totally wrong.

And no they don't*misuse it all the time, the sirens are connected to the
black box recorder on board the vehicle so that the use can be monitored.

Like the excuse for parking on double-yellow lines is
always that they are investigating a crime when we all know they are
regularly seen leaving the "scene of the crime" with takeaways, burgers,
chips etc presumably all very important evidence?
