Falls under the speed rules. Likely if the popo is going Code 2, they will be exceeding the speed limit. If you pass them, expect a reaction.
However, I've been the numpty popo who forgot to switch the lights off after using them. You don't normally realise until you are driving along and people ahead of you keep pulling over. But still, I normally drove at the speed limit, so passing me would have been a bad idea.
That's the guts of it. The speed issue.
The other consideration is that if you overtook a fire truck which had bells and whistles on, you could ride away and not get in his way. But if you overtook a popo with the bells and whistles on, as soon as you got ahead, the bells and whistles would mean you had to stop. That's the difference between red lights, and red and blue lights.
