I hope the guy gets the 15k.
A small percentage of the population have warrants or driving without insurance. Let's make criminals out of people just trying to save a regular guy 100 bucks or more for speeding. Let's make the average Joe get penalized because the vast minority of the population are criminals? STFU Socialist Sally!
not in "no fault" states like stupid ky =( unless the person admits fault or a LEO sees the accident, you each pay your own junk and no fault is assigned.
blows.
I've done it to remind people to put on their headlights...still low light early AM, fog, getting to be dusk...people around here with non-auto headlights are HORRIBLE at using theirs properly. There are plenty of other legal and plausible explanations for why someone flashed lights...flash to pass, oncoming weaving into your lane, deer, debris, or other emergency ahead, others leaving high beams on, accidentally hit the switch, etc. It's supposed to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, not LEO jumps inside your brain and assumes why you were doing something.
I'll defend cops and say there are a lot of good ones out there and a few bad apples. But the system that they work under is 90% about generating revenue, particularly traffic enforcement. That's the ONLY reason why radar detectors and flashing lights to others is a problem. Soon, the targeted enforcement areas, speed enforced by aircraft, speed enforced by radar, giant red light and speed camera signs are all going to disappear because they help counter-act "the system."
i love how to police have gone from Protect and to Serve to straight Punish and ENSLAVE!

This nonsense has to stop. I hope all the other 10,429 victims also get their $100 back plus $15K. It might cause these power hungry corrupt police forces to think twice before making up laws and violating peoples rights.
What If I simply flash my lights because the oncoming traffic's lights are too bright?
sweet.
I was in a traffic class with a guy who did the flash to warn of cops and he got pulled over for it.
He got a ticket for each window that was illegally tinted, 2 of his tires being below the wear bar and a few other minor things.
His fee's were over 1200 bucks before he went to court.

Flashing your brights is interfering with law enforcement, however, that has never stopped me from warning oncoming cars there's a cop ahead. I also update Trapster.
The argument that you could be warning a criminal is interesting and true, however the chances of that are probably slim.
In the meantime, getting a ticket for warning other drivers not to commit a crime would be like getting a ticket to convince a bank robber to stop robbing the bank...havn't heard of that yet.

How is it interfering with law enforcement when technically, no one has committed a crime yet? Theymad just because you lost them some revenue :lol1:
Yep, because ticketing the public is where states should make up for budget shortfalls....
:lol::lol::lol: :beer:
The Pre-crime division sees what you are about to do there :lol1:
