As for why the trooper didn't stop the cars failing to stop at the red light, it could be a number of things. S/He was off duty and had their family in the car. Prisoner transport. Didn't feel safe flipping on their lights and halting the intersection to go through it (because, you know, when s/he gets t-boned, everyone flips out, blames the cop for unsafely going through the intersection, and s/he gets suspended or fired). Or s/he simply just didn't feel like it.

I asked a trooper today when I was at Big Y. They have statewide jurisdiction but only answer calls for service on interstates and highways unless they are a Resident Trooper.
Interesting, good to know.
