Stopped a man for having illegal blue lights on his vehicle. said he bought them at an auto parts store. they change different colors and surround the bottom of an auto. he had them on permanent blue and thus the citation. good stop, bad stop?

• I thought we "Illuminated Things" we wanted seen for "Safety" on the Roadways??? So If an "Officer" sees me broken down, pulls over & gives me a ticket for my "Road Flare" being "Too Bright" how could I possible prove they weren't??? Isn't he playing "Judge & Jury" Without having the means (Spectrum Analyzer etc.) to Prove his point??? If U think U need to be seen by putting "Blue Under Carriage" lights on Ur car to save Ur Life, who has the "UNCONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT" to DENY U Ur "CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO PURSUE LIFE, LIBERTY & HAPPINESS"??? BAD STOP, good Answer Tempter. And as a Cop, if U have to ASK US, I really don't want U out there trying to "Protect, Defend & Serve" the Public as U SWORE to do because apparently U have Failed to Form Norms & Standards in the Right Lobe of Ur Soul!!! Find another Occupation. John

• Moosemose, blue undercarriage lights do not in any way save your life and I don't need any type of meter if I can articulate a reason I believe something is a violation of law or a danger to public safety. It is not playing "Judge & Jury" to write a citation for a violation of the law. You are not convicted at the time of issuance you get your day in court with a...umm...oh yeah judge and jury. We let them play "Judge & Jury". John is a very knowledgeable and articulate officer and as far as I'm concerned he can patrol my street any day. As to the stop it was a very good stop.
