Personally I think that the cop was out of line but, the SUV did not have the right of way. The traffic code was carefully written to tell you when you must yield to others, but does not give those others the right of way. Right of way is reserved for emergency vehicles, like cop cars.
The officer did not have his lights on when taking the right of way from the SUV. At least that's what I understand from the narritive. If the officer is going to take right of way, especially in a manner that might be dangerous, his lights had to be on or his siren used to warn traffic.
