The other day in Los Angeles, I was driving on a one-way street with three lanes in each direction, and a police car came up behind me with its lights flashing, but I couldn't change course to the right immediately because there was a car alongside me on the right, and then the police car approached right behind me, so I thought I was being stopped, so I pulled over to the left corner and I pulled over to the left corner and stopped. In fact, the police car seemed to be heading toward some crime scene, and as a result, I ended up blocking the path of the police car. As the police car passed by, a police officer shouted something to me, but I didn't hear it because my window was closed and it was only for a moment. The police car then drove away. I was not given a ticket or asked to show my driver's license at the scene, but I wonder if the police or the court will send me a summons to appear in court later in this case. I would appreciate it if someone who is familiar with the procedures for traffic violations could let me know.

As long as you're not blocking the path of a police car, you'll be fine, don't worry
I'm pretty sure they'll send you a kip if the school bus stops and doesn't stop when the STOP sign is up, though.

I understand your concern. First of all, please rest assured. Traffic violations usually result in an immediate ticket, but if, as you have indicated, no ticket was issued, it is unlikely that a citation or other order to appear will be mailed to you.

It also makes me think about the fact that many cars continue to drive in front of the police car even though a police car is coming from behind with its lights flashing

Indeed, when I see cars that do not yield the right of way when a police car is flashing its lights, it makes me think about the driver's attention and awareness. It is basic etiquette to yield the right-of-way promptly to emergency vehicles, and it is important for safety. More education and awareness may be needed.

People who have tickets mailed to them without prompt right
People who have tickets mailed to them after driving behind an emergency vehicle
It's a court appearance
The law is to be obeyed.

Failure to respond properly to an emergency vehicle may result in a ticket being mailed to you as a violation. You may then be required to appear in court. Obeying the law is fundamental to safe driving and to building trust with other road users.

Obeying traffic rules not only protects your own safety, but also the safety of others. Take care of each other and drive safely!

Fire trucks and ambulances are so slow that you have time to avoid them, but
police cars come so fast that you always wonder which way to avoid them.

It's always a bit of a toss-up as to which way to go.
