^^^^This^^^^ I've spoken to LEO's about this before and there is no law against it, but in my opinion morally wrong because you never know if you are letting a murderer or rapist know there is a LEO up ahead and if he's speeding to get away from a crime he committed he needs to be stopped! There's no telling how many criminals have gotten away with who knows what because somebody let them know there was a LEO up ahead by flashing their lights at em'. Not to mention drunk and drugged drivers!

Ps. I used to flash my lights at other drivers until someone else brought these things to my attention. Now I never do it.

Never thought about this angle, Tazz. Good points.

I would tend to think if someone is drunk/drugged up, they would likely miss my flash or not realize they were speeding/weaving anyway. And if someone is on the run they've got to make a decision quick to slow down-not know exactly where the cop is at-and hope if they are being pursued that no one catches up to them. Not to mention the above, being jacked up on adrenaline and wide-eyed they would probably miss the flash. Just my thoughts-worth the paper their written on! :)

Key words being "likely & probably", If even only one person guilty of a violent crime or drunk/drugged driving is alerted to the LEO ahead it's one too many!!! Don't you get it?! How many other people will they victimize? Your logic makes NO sense at all!
