If hew was behind you for a significant time with blues and twos on, far enough back that he would have been clearly visible in your mirrors, and you failed to see him, that would seem to be evidence that your driving fell below the standard expected of a careful and competent driver.
That said, on the many, many times I have seen police with blues and twos being held up by oblivious drivers, I've never seen said drivers pulled over for obstructing an emergency vehicle, as the occifer had something more pressing to deal with - hence the blues and twos.
