I'm not sure what the rules are, since some of those videos the SUVs have their "police" lights flashing, but you'll note they also don't use turn signals most of the time, they straddle the dashed lines, etc. More pragmatically, if the mayor's office would pay the fines, then it's just a loop of the government paying itself, for a net loss/gain. Now if the mayor had to pay it personally...

The question is why should a mayor be allowed to do these things that are so obviously disrespectful to the citizens. There's no concern for national security like there is with president.

53 & 55 mph in a school zone. That says it all.

Remember, Brandon Johnson had unpaid water bills, parking tickets before he was elected.

ETA: Were they using sirens at the time?

Hubris.

Presumably he's not driving himself. So it's a deliberate policy rather than him just being a shit driver.

There'd be hell to pay if he ran somebody over. Presumably he'd sue them for ruining his career.

He was probably racing to a meeting with the Chicago Teachers' Union president.

Why was Matt Gaetz kicked out of the libertarian party?

Because he slowed down outside a high school.
