Good stop.

Good stop... From my understanding, ANY light on the underside of a vehicle are illegal WHILE DRIVING. You can stop and flip them on, but while moving? No. (At least in Indiana)
-
Bad. Very unimportant. You must have been bored. Donut shop closed?
-
Lights like that are distracting to other drivers. Besides they look stupid. Good stop. Any way to make those wings on the trunks illegal if they are too big for the car?
-
Same stop I recieved for green ;(

bad stop. some laws are just pointless. remember this whos going to protect us from the measures they take to protect us. every day theres more and more laws its your job to inforce them. but enforce what is relivant and can save livesand prevent serious crime. blue lights i mean come on it doesnt get more pointless than that illegal or not.

good stop'

I hear they are a distraction, I also know the color blue is reserved for police and emergency vehicles, it's all a bunch of garbage really...bad stop! The cop should have been out finding people who steal cars, not people who drive them

Good Stop. Too many people believe that if it is sold in an auto parts store, it is automatically legal. This is simply not so. Trinkets to hang on the rearview mirror are not legal, colored decorative lights, extra bright headlights are just a few examples.

I would say good stop, but I am not big on them... Here's the deal, though. Some states are legal, some not. The idea behind it is that blue and red are reserved for emergency vehicles. These lights, however, are either blue OR red. If the light is flashing between the colors in a manner meant to imitate a police officer, then I can see the reason. Otherwise, I'm sure there's better tickets that can be given.

If I really had nothing better to do I would have issued a warning or a "fix-it-ticket". Some of our laws are just getting ridiculous. "Land of the free" my ass!

It is illegal, so for that I say good stop. Although, I do think it is a stupid law, that needs to be changed, I dont get distracted, when someone drives, by me with them. I pay attention to the road. If that light distracts you, you probably shouldnt be driving. Police, fly past me with their lights on, I still dont get distracted. I think your time could have been used elsewhere, that would have been more beneficial to the greater public.

I don't mess with it, but you were within your legal authority, so good stop. My reasoning for not messing with it is that the courts in my area will dismiss it 99.9% of the time, and if you don't have the court's backing then it is a pointless exercise.

With so many more serious law infractions you could dedicate your time to, less it was a very unimportant stop. Is this the true job description of law enforcement? Protecting and serving should include protrolling neighborhoods preventing robberies, rapes and murders? Ariving to a robbery scene or murder after the fact because of dedicating valuable time to meaningless traffic infractions diminishes the true meaning of law enforcement.

good stop,the blue, grn lights diminish the night vision of other drivers. safety hazard
-
Good stop.He should also be ticketed for bad taste.
-
Good stop but I would rather you had given a ticket to one of those idiots driving around with their phone up to their ear or one of the ones weaving in and out of trafffice at 80 miles an hour.
