That’s a weird thing, if true. A cop car hitting me while chasing a perpetrator is bad but maybe I didn’t pay attention to the sirens or something. Arguable. A cop car stepping out of a Dunkin drive through and hitting me when I had the right of way shouldn’t be exempt. I would be stunned if that’s the case.

Different states handle it differently. If I remember correctly it's called "Sovereign Immunity". My car was parked when hit by a city owned vehicle and all they had to pay was my deductible. My insurance paid for the repairs, but it wasn't counted as an at-fault accident and my premiums did not go up.
