Thumbs up Police Helicoptors-automatic right of way?

To those of you that are of the Police Pilot persuasion in the UK and Oz it seems that you operate under a set of rigid and fixed rules when it comes to having the right of way. Most of you would probably hurl your lunch if you ever got involved in a police freeway chase in Los Angeles. You could have police helicopters from different jurisdictions along with state police helicopters and as many as ten or more news ENG helos following the same action. Everybody jockeying for position much like the National Air races but for helicopters.
