"...I issued a citation for interfering with a emergency vessel underway..."

You luck dog you. Many is the time I wanted to stop and cite some yoyo for putting me into the dirt median of I-5 at 'bout 140mph or so, oblivious to my lights and siren (OK, at that speed the siren can't be heard ahead of the my vehicle, but the lights are sure visible). But I just got back under control and continued to whatever "emergency" I was responding to...
