Let's get this out of the way:
I hate cops being used as revenue generators. I also hate cops with power trips. I respect the job that they have to do, but using them to generate revenue (rather than enforce the law) is insulting to us as tax payers and the professionals that many of our LEOs truly are.
So it should come as no surprise that I would go out of my way to prevent someone from being a victim of this type of revenue stream. But, I have strayed away from flashing lights because people have been convicted of obstruction of justice for notifying people of a trap.
This case is interesting. Free speech? Seems logical to me. What say you?
