You'll get off.
Cases I know of are ambulance and fire brigade, not 100% sure if police are different, but would like to think so as they're effectively directing you - but people have gone to court to fight it and lost.
Never found out if police are different in these cases.
The one in the papers was fire brigade, matey went to court and lost for going through red light.
Going through a red light could cause an accident for example, they can't encourage you to do this.
You are not expected/allowed to break the law getting out of their way.
