LEOs, WTF did I just see on I-75?

[palmettomoon]

Bog standard Impala bucket, no livery what so ever, POV tag, blue light bars inside the windscreen and rear glass, had a mini van pulled over at the 16/75 split. Momo (the popo?) waddling up to the minivan, flipflops, holey cargo shorts, ratty tee shirt skrugglin' to cover an 8" belly overlap of the waist of the shorts, about 434 & 7/8ths pounds, no gun, no gunbelt, no taser, no badge, nothing to indicate he was a well fed deputy or cop. I thought it was against state law to have blue lights in a POV?

Only against the law to operate them on a public roadway or to impersonate law enforcement.

Only against the law to operate them on a public roadway or to impersonate law enforcement.

There is no exemption for places other than public roadways or impersonating a leo.

OP I’m not sure what you saw. Sheriff’s are permitted to have blue lights in their pov, subject to certain requirements. Maybe that’s what you saw, but I hope not, lol.

Also could be one of the special ones, like members of the Public Safety Commission, who are granted permits to have blue lights in a pov, but again I hope not.
