    What about the new motorcycles that I've seen on the road that have the pulsating/flashing headlight to increase visibility?

    I think all forms and means of communication from one person to another or group of people and the contents of that communication should be protected by the freedom of speech regardless whether someone may think it is good or bad. Warning other drivers of a possible hazardous road condition like a speed trap should not be a punishable offense. I say speed traps are hazardous because I'm sure most people has had the opportunity to experience one and have seen people slam on there brakes to slow down, or almost run into someone that hit the brakes. Not to mention the safety of the officer and poor sap they have pulled over just over the hill out of sight till you're right up on them. The LEO's have a job to do, I understand this, but they should not be allowed to selectively restrict a citizens rights to get it done.

    BTW.. Ticket quotas are just a myth.. lol

    I think they are a hazard, especially when they are pointed at you at night.

    Mark me down for the third vote against those stupid, distracting, sometimes painful things!

    They hurt your head about like strobe lights at a dance club

    Watch, I bet they will make them manditory.

    Exactly. I wish more people saw cops for what they really are.

    Which would be?
