As of Jan. 1, it will no longer be illegal to flash your headlights in Florida to warn drivers about a speeding trap set by police

This was already illegal in numerous other states, why did it take FL so long?

If you did not sign it, you are not bound to it. Stop complying, stop feeding the monster. Nothing is illegal if you did not consent to it.

That's protected by the 1st amendment. Free Speech.


Oh yeah, I forgot. The Constitution and Bill of Rights doesn't apply anymore.

It's been illegal in Australia for decades


Doesn't stop us though

I quit flashing my lights years ago because most people are assholes and deserve tickets. If they want to get pulled over then so what?

I'm curious how they can prove you were flashing your lights to warn of a cop? How can they prove you didn't "accidentally" flash them? Or maybe you were checking to make sure they still worked. Or maybe you just turned them on and then decided to turn them off?

This country isn't safe anymore.

i tap the breaks for people behind me.

i was just testing my breaks officer. LOL

Just because they say so does not make it so. Good luck on them proving that friendly flash was a warning. They try that shit here.

You must be a woman...

Yes it does.

What if you see someone you know coming down the road and flash your lights to say hello? Is that illegal? How far away from a cop are you allowed to flash your lights at someone you know?

I'm a free thinking man. A real man.

You must be a little bitch. FUCK OFF LOSER

Real man whining about it not being safe, and justifying AIDING the terrorist with badges?

It is illegal in Romania since...like forever.

Noone cares about that, everyone does it.

Here's all you have to say...

"I flashed my lights as a courtesy to the officer. I am always aware of the dangers our law enforcement officers face and flashed my lights to ensure my fellow motorists were aware that a public safety officer was operating in the vicinity. This act was out of concern for the officer."

This is TOTAL BS!!!...if they have laws that can get you
for flashing light to others, them we mist think of other ways of helping others when they are seeking motorist to make money of us!!!!...
LET SEE WHET CAN WE THINKIG OF:
1) FLASHING LIGHTS ON
2) right BLINKER ON
3) LEF HARM OUT AS IF YOU ARE TO TURN LEFT

HA HA HA...THEY WILL NEVE WIN!!!

lol flash 4 ways instead

I'll not stop warning people, but I do make sure that I am not seen. You know around the corner, or over the hill.

Where? I can't say what I want or I will be fined. I can't own a gun without permission. We have a president who is a citizen of Indonesia, I can be forced to give urine in order to testify against myself, I can be searched any where at any time, and the states have no right to enforce or pass their own laws unless Uncle Sam agrees to them.

Seems like the constitution is just a fucking piece of paper that the government wipes it's ass with.

nd what if deer or ice are in the area of the speed trap? many drivers flash their lights to warn others of deer on the road or patches of black ice

good luck proving this one.

Just proof to me that they (cops, etc.) aren't interested in people driving the speed limit. They are just interested in collecting revenue from speeding tickets.

Think about it... If their concern was solely about having people go the speed limit, by flashing your lights you are actually helping the police do their job. Heck, when you flash your lights to warn others that may be speeding to slow down the cops should congratulate you and give you some kind of reward for being a helpful citizen. After all, we helped people maintain the speed limit.

On the other hand, if flashing our lights causes people to slow down the means less revenue for the system.

Instead, fire three shots in the air with your "Bushmaster"...

When i see a speeding trap i just tweet it. Public service for the win.

But people slow down when others flash their lights. And by slowing down you are being safer. Isn't this what the government wants is people to be safe? Why would they make this illegal(?), unless all they want is ticket revenue and could give two shits about being safe.

As of Jan. 1, it will no longer be illegal to flash your headlights in Florida to warn drivers about a speeding trap set by police.

good luck with that lol

Do you even read, It says it will NOT be Illegal!!

Straight from the article you linked.
As of Jan. 1, it will no longer be illegal to flash your headlights in Florida to warn drivers about a speeding trap set by police.

We use the downwards thumb signal in the UK during the day to notify drivers of police speed checks. They dont like it but what can they do?

If they start arresting people for this then that would be another ridiculas method of control.

This...Was going to say the same thing. Seems there are a bunch of people guilty of not reading or comprehending the article, including the OP.
