So does that mean they leave their sirens on during the whole time they are writing a ticket?
The dashcam is commonly used evidence for recording the conversation between driver and officer issuing the ticket. Rarely is the siren utilized for a simple traffic stop such as speeding, and never used while the infraction is being written up.

If police officers have a microphone they have to turn it on.
Again, I would imagine there are several different systems in place, so I can only speak to the ones for my local police department and various departments in Oregon.
And I'm basing this on knowledge that is two years old, so I could be wrong

The cop definitely could have driven better there IMO. If he had kept going straight in front of the Galant he would have missed him completely.
As a side note, chasing down a speeder is hardly an emergency warranting the endangerment of other motorists. While the law may say he was not at fault, I believe reckless driving like that should be confined to true "emergency" situations....

I mixed it up with overhead lights (and siren). Siren can turn off, but if the overhead lights are still on vehicles equipped with the camera will continue to film.
