Police and exemption to the law
Discussion
So basically, i get a call from a mate, 'come meet me in the pub' on my way there i cross a one way road, there is a police car traveling up the road, in the wrong direction, he does not has his blues on, but did have his headlights on (it was around 10pm and dark)
On seeing him coming up i stand in the middle of the road, wave in the direction of the the way he should be going and shout 'its one way you idiot' he blanks me, drives past me and pulls out of the junction at the 'beginning' of the road
I saw some lad in the back seat, but the copper driving didnt look much older.
Was he in the wrong? are the police allowed to bypass driving laws as they see fit? no blues on makes me think if i had stepped out looking the other way (why would i look down a one way street when crossing?) and he hit me, whos at fault?
Look forward to your comments!

p.s. i did not get the reg or anything like that, not interested in reporting it, just curious if there was something i was not aware of!
