LJ Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Is legal everywhere that it has been seen by the higher courts Courts in Florida, Utah, and Tennessee have all examined the question of whether the act is obstruction of justice or a form of protected speech and have found that it’s protected speech, and that the (headlight) flasher cannot be prosecuted.

Gergwheel1647545492 Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 A father and son in Florida who tried to sue the state of Florida in a class action lawsuit on behalf of all drivers given a ticket lost their lawsuit because the state government had rewritten its policy in the interim to train officers not to write such tickets. Sounds like the cop should have listened to the training he was given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Karacho1647545492 Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 I've never understood the logic of this. Speed traps, under the assumption that police use them for their proper purpose, are for keeping drivers safe and speeds at or below the speed limit. By flashing high beams, other drivers are able to effectively combat unsafe driving and high speeds. Therefore, the ultimate goal of the speed trap has been accomplished and all high beam flashers are actually aiding justice instead of obstructing it. Unless, of course, safety was not the ultimate goal of the speed trap, but rather revenue generation. By the obstruction of justice logic, if I saw my friend's browser history included searches on where to hire a hitman, if I successfully talked him out of meeting with any potential hitmen, I could be obstructing a sting operation and should be hauled off to jail.

Deterrence. A hefty ticket is more likely to prevent you from doing it again as opposed to another motorist warning you allowing you to get away with it.

owndjoo Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 had a friend pulled over for this a few years ago. he flashed his lights, and didn't realize it was another cop coming toward him. Cop went off on him about it, but no ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forrest Gump 9 Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 That's why I always have couple slices of cooked bacon in my car. When I get pull over I just wrap the bacons in my registration and give it to the cop. Haven't have any ticket I years. And oh yeah, all my cars have problem with the headlights flashing by themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
