In 62 years, I can't recall ever seeing a police patrol car with "their families" inside. When I was a deputy sheriff, I had my mother and father in the patrol car one time. I drove them from a parking lot into the Ohio State fair grounds as a courtesy, after getting permission from the Sheriff.
Oh, and how do you know these were family members of the cop? Is it possible that all of these officers you've seen were rushing families to a hospital to be with a dying family member. Many times, I was dispatched to pick up a family and take them to an emergency room where a close relative was dying from an accident or shooting or whatever. One night I drove an entire family (mother father and two little children) home after their car hit and killed an elderly couple walking across the Ohio turnpike at night.
Even so, if it what you say is true, does it justify your speeding? Nice try.
