It's "Eat your cake and have it too" ... but most other people get it wrong, so you're no different.

From "Random House Dictionary of Popular Proverbs and Sayings" by Gregory Y. Titelman:
"You can't have your cake and eat it too -- One can't use something up and still have it to enjoy. This proverb was recorded in the book of proverbs by John Heywood in 1546, and is first attested in the United States in the 1742 'Colonial Records of Georgia' in 'Original Papers, 1735-1752.' The adage is found in varying forms: You can't eat your cake and have it too. You can't have everything and eat it too; Eat your cake and have the crumbs in bed with you, etc. ..."
Ahem. Streaky

Sounds like the vehicle was an ambulance!
Ambulances are exempt from speed limits when on emergencies.
Insensitive of that officer to threaten the issue of process in those circs!
Prosecution may have been the outcome, I cannot see a court convicting if it was given the evidence as to why
