Always, and I love when other people do it for me. It's a dying system and I'm trying my best to bring it back.

I also use it to find older white women to murder when my gang and I are holding try outs

Making it illegal to flash one's headlights was declared unconstitutional in Missouri a few years ago. Don't remember if it was under state or federal law though.




Spent the 3 years living in MO recently and never was accosted for flashing my lights.

Guess I got lucky.

Yes, if I can. Especially if the cop is hiding in the bushes, trying to pad his quota.

I don't know how that's even remotely enforceable.

I actually had a state trooper flash his lights at me about a half mile before I passed a sheriff's deputy shooting radar. That was different


I usually accuse troopers of being the biggest picks. Glad to hear I'm wrong, and that there are some good ones it out there.

Causeway cops do suck. When they patrolled on a bridge project I was working, they were the most worthless lazy fricks. People would drive 55-60 in a 35 on a terrible bridge, and they wouldn't do it because they said it was too dangerous in the lame closure.

That's one if the few instances I've wanted people to get a ticket. Thats dangerous for everyone.

I may depending on the circumstances, like if it's a particularly sneaky speed trap but oth if it's a street that people speed on a lot when they shouldn't (like a school zone or residential street) I won't.

how many cops you think are just sitting there in their car running a speed trap watching waze for their arse to pop up on there?

I think the good folks at Waze may have taken that into consideration. I know if they are sitting still they can't clear themselves off the map, so I'm guessing maybe they can't see themselves either. Otherwise they could possibly determine who tagged them and take action.

Yes. Every single time. Speed traps aren't about saving lives. They are about police department income. If they want to actually help society, they can park their cruisers at the corners of dangerous neighborhoods and prevent drug dealing and gang violence. But it's safer and pays better to pull over doctors' wives going 7 miles per hour over the speed limit.

They don't like it and I've heard they can give you a ticket, but yes I do.

Hell yes. Kind strangers have saved me from a ticket on more than one occasion.

I flash mine to give the other driver a heads up about cops/hazardous road conditions/wildlife on or near the road. I figure if a cop pulls me over I'll just say I saw a deer I was warning the other guy about.

I do, but I'm cautious BC I've been pulled over before for doing it.
Flashed an undercover state trooper.

How'd he pull you over if he was undercover?

Two years ago, I was pulled over on my way home from Baton Rouge while going 67 miles per hour. I parked on the side of the road approximately 300 yards from a sign that said, "Speed Limit: 65 mph". The officer told me that the speed limit was actually 55 mph, and that the 65 mph speed limit began AT the sign. It cost me ~$200. Protecting and serving...
