Idling Police Cruisers

Here in Toronto, we have a no-idling policy.  I think this is a great, easy way for drivers to be environmentally conscious.  So why is it that the only vehicles that I see idling are police cruisers? 

On my way to and from work everyday, I walk through a Green P parking lot to get to the subway.  Uncannily often, I see two police cruisers parked in that lot next to one another, facing opposite directions so that the drivers can chat, both with engines idling.  What gives?!  Does the no-idling rule not apply to cops? 

You people are the ones issuing the traffic tickets…Set an example!
