If a man in a wheelchair – who had the right of way to cross the street – wasn’t paying attention, he could have been mowed down by the mayor of Chicago.

Rahm Emanuel’s motorcade has been captured multiple times on the devices ignoring red lights, putting at risk pedestrians and other motorists.

In fact, the mayor’s motorcade has received five tickets since November, according to WGN.

“First and foremost, red lights are there for public safety,” Emanuel ironically said during a recent speech.

According to video also published by ABC 7 – from a red light camera – the mayor’s two-car motorcade can be seen running the light while a man in a wheelchair waits to cross.

In another incident, the massive flash from the camera taking a picture of the car’s license plate can be seen.

More video shows an elderly pedestrian hesitating to cross the street while both of the mayor’s cars can be seen blowing through the intersection.

“Since there’s a tail car, there are some instances where they need to get through a light because they can’t get separated from the first car,” Emanuel says, explaining his driver’s actions.

He got defensive when he was asked if he was going to pay the tickets, despite not being the one behind the wheel.

“I said I was gonna pay it, that’s what it means when you’re not above the law. That couldn’t be clearer,” the mayor said at a press conference.

“No one is above the law. Obey the law. Period. Full stop,” Emanuel said previously.

ABC 7 reports the mayor’s motorcade has been hit with 17 red light tickets in just 2 1/2 years.

“The footage shows his motorcade going through in a dangerous fashion through intersections. So he needs to stop,” says William Walls, one of Emanuel’s challengers for mayor.

“He should take them down and pay for his, but he should pay for every citizen that got one. That’s my comment,” said Willie Wilson, candidate for mayor.

Polls show the red light cameras are wildly unpopular – especially after it would found the Emanuel administration “shorted yellow light times” and hauled in $7.7 million in tickets.

A Chicago Tribune poll finds 49 percent of Chicagoans support eliminating the cameras while another 25 percent support “reducing” the program.
