In other words, tell your wife not to flip the bird to off-duty highway patrol officers.....

It doesn't sound like the other driver was an off duty officer. I think things would've played out differently if he were, plus he would've made that known via conference call. Trust me on that!

Yeah - he didn't make that known. And he was driving a red Toyota Highlander (older model) doing 70 in a 75 in the left lane. Doesn't add up to being an off duty.

Oh, yes it does! As much of a LEO fingerprint as two-fingered typing in my books.....

Actually we drive in the carpool lane solo, usually have dark tinted windows and roll around with no plates. Driving slowly in the #1 lane isn't really our staple. Lol!

I've heard comments like this from OPP (Ontario Provincial Police) friends.

Being in SoCal, have you participated in the SRTF? I follow them on Instagram and it's actually pretty interesting on the busts they do.

I have with my prior department. It's fun!!!! I think people have become more brazen and there have been deaths at takeovers.

I wish that you guys could give guys who drive with these lights big tickets, or at least let them know how ridiculous they are. What kind of road conditions actually require these?

We do! There are vehicle code requirements for lights.

I see so many cars here in CA with obnoxious lights. Sometimes they are blinding. These drivers are rude and only care how they look and not how it affects other drivers.

It takes A LOT of police encounters to find that one to post online to demonstrate a first amendment violation. By and large, policemen/women throughout the country know what they can and can't do; what's an illegal violation of the 1st and what's a legal violation of the 1st. The outliers are just that……outliers.

Surprisingly…or not, I get asked - by civilians during calls for service - to violate someone else's 1st amendment rights on a daily basis. People truly have no clue. They want me to essentially kidnap people, illegally seize people, etc…..and they get upset when I simply tell them that I cannot do what they are asking me to do.

You mean drive on the public roads with those lights ON, right?

If you want to see what they are good for, feel free to come visit my neck of the woods on a new moon. Hope you like banjo music.....

"We tear-gassed the house to get him out" Not the above namby-pamby PC-speak. This was a harden criminal "During a search of the residence, detectives located two loaded firearms, large amounts of US Currency, narcotics, and indicia of narcotics sales"

Wait, was he selling indica, not sativa???
