What is this world coming to.... I remember the days when everyone
would flash upcoming drivers to warn them of fixed speed camera traps
and it was the right thing to do. I mean someone flashes you and you
immediately check your speed and this is a good thing right? I mean its
all about safety right?
A case in Missouri was recently filed in
the name of Jerry L. Jarman Jr, a Kansas motorist ticketed on August 24
because he used his headlights to warn oncoming traffic of a speed
trap. Such prosecutions have taken place around the country and now the common practice of flashing has become a ticketing event
In October,
the ACLU filed a similar lawsuit in Delaware
to fight back. Unlike the Delaware case, where police used a turn
signal statute to outlaw headlight flashing, Grain Valley has a specific
ordinance making it a crime to warn of a speed trap.
Can only wonder what the future will bring.
