The shoulder is still not to be used for a police stop. You should only stop there if there's no alternative. A police wanting to stop you is not an emergency; the nearest exit is close enough. Same for a lot of other situations. Further, in Netherlands an ambulance is not allowed to use the shoulder at high speed. Meaning, they'll prefer driving on the normal lanes (even if a bit crowded) over the shoulder.
