Pic Thread: Police Vehicles

We used to complain about the overhead LED red and blues. It's a safety issue. Before the use of LED, if you pulled up behind another officer doing a traffic stop, you were able to see him or her from your car and as you were walking up. With the bright LEDs, it's impossible to see what you are walking up on and the officer doing the stop can't see if there was anyone walking up behind him or her.

Here is the picture I referenced in post 36. A good car and a good trooper, both doing their job.

I've had to squint driving by police activity, but never thought of how much it adds to the danger of the officers. Not to be flippant, but bring back the rotating incandescent gum drops!
