Yes, but it doesn’t have the same effect as when my wife does it.

We found the "thin blue line" sticker guy.

I agree, the police are a a formal gang and none of them ever seem to make it past their initial training.

It depends. If I can quickly tell the person is cool or normal I will, but if they look like some kind of a-hole, POS, liberal, freak or whatever I won’t.

No but I flash people for shits and giggles to make them think there is a cop

What a bunch of BS. Show me an image of a ticket for this or GTFO

Everytime and I expect the same courtesy

Only if recently waxed

Yep.

Yes. The fact we've turned police into roving taxation units is disgusting.

I would thoroughly enjoy fighting that in court.

Sorry that you know a bunch of stupid people. If you're still close enough to the cop that he can see your lights flash, even though you're driving away from the cop, then the people you're attempting to warn should already be able to see the cop. It's too late for those drivers if they are that unaware of their surroundings. I start warning people ahead of me once the cop is mostly out of my sight in rear view.
Do the same.
But I did get stopped for doing this on Range Ave just North of the Antique Village a few months back. A cop was parked in that insurance agency on the left side shooting his radar gun at traffic heading south. I passed him up and a little further up flashed my lights at someone who might have been speeding. Unfortunately there was another cop on my side right by the high school who saw me do it and flagged me down.
He immediately said he couldn’t ticket me for it but went on a long yarn about how it didn’t help them make drivers more aware of the speed limit. I stumped him when I asked what the difference was between me slowing traffic down by flashing my lights or the driver seeing others slam the brakes on up ahead because they saw the cop. He told me to have a good day and walked back to his car.

What if the person that is speeding is wanted for a crime? You just gave him another chance.

Only for black drivers so the cop doesn’t drag them out of the car and murder them.

Wasn’t there a Supreme Court case that ruled that unconstitutional?
