Dcist: "Fox 5 reports that the vehicle was indeed an Metropolitan Police Department SUV, and that the wreck was not supposed to happen.
There aren't a whole lot of big-time action movie shoots in D.C., so perhaps those tasked with keeping the line between filming and real life are a little rusty. A tipster sends in the above video, which appears to depict the yellow "Bumblebee" sports convertible, which will feature prominently in Transformers 3, t-boning a police cruiser which happened to be driving down 3rd Street SW during filming. The "Bumblebee" apparently was cruising down Maryland Avenue near the National Museum of the American Indian, when it stuck the police vehicle at the Avenue's intersection with 3rd Street. The above video was shot from the Voice of America building at 330 Independence Avenue SW."

Believe it or not, love it or hate it, but Michael Bay’s live-action Transformers franchise is one of the most successful movie series of all time, sitting at #8 on the highest-grossing franchises of all time, having posted a mind-blowing $3.76 billion in box office receipts with just four movies.
Thats gotta be set up. If not the Cops just an idiot. I call fake purely because these sets are closed, and if a cop was turning his lights on and racing throw the middle of a shot then everything would of been stopped and changed.
Apparently, there were news reporters on the scene....and they asked...apparently the cop didn't get the memo....
I can't be friends with COPSS!!! haha, I kid...but idk, I forgot about the other movies using the media for attention. Kind of like a black flag crisis....even so, if it is true, this cop deserves a "C'MON MANNN!!"
Here's another video from a different angle and shows the aftermath. I don't think this was on purpose. You can see that they do immediately shut things down and begin covering up all of the cars.
