Which federal law would that be? And yes, cops do give you every
opportunity to lodge a complaint. What happens after that depends on the
business the cop was conducting at the time. Remember that emergency
vehicles are not normal traffic whether they are operating with lights and
siren or not.

If the complaint is unfounded, since emergency vehicles are exempt from
traffic law when in the performance of their duties, how would you show this
as misconduct? I agree that none of us here know what was going on that
prompted the behavior but you and the OP automatically assume that the cop
did this without cause when it sounds to me like he was en route to a call
and was cancelled, or sent to a different call during this.
