I don't. Maybe the cops are waiting on a blue Kia with a 7 year old that was just kidnapped and shoved in the trunk.

I am convinced traffic control officers main priority is generating revenue for the state. To do that they contiously play a game of cat and mouse with drivers, especially truck drivers. They get upset when they get outsmarted or exposed.

That said, I had a county deputy flash his lights at me a few months ago. A mile up the road there was a state trooper running radar.
Even the county boys hate the troopers.

If someone behind me want to pass, I'll give the lefthand blinker one blink to let them know, I'm slowing down, and pulling over. I'm waiting in anxious anticipation for the rest of the key to your signal light language.

Nope. If that sunnabeach is speeding, I'll just laugh my balls off hoping he gets a humunguous fine. Same thing when some bastid whips around me doing 30+ over the limit and I see him later pulled over.

I vaguely remember some years ago reading about somebody actually getting criminally charged for doing this. The cops claimed that they were "interfering with a police operation" or some such BS. I don't remember how it turned out. It went thru the courts and final decision was it was legal as it was a category of “freedom of speech”.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

Used to. Don't see much in the way of speed traps around here.
The last time I flashed was to slow the other driver, but it was because there were deer all over the road and he was just about to discover them. Same here Shane, I was gonna type the same reply until I saw your post.

Yep, around here flashing your lights because deer are in the road or are at the edge ready to cross happens a couple of time a week in the spring and fall in my area.

Deer have been thick in the ditches all year around here.

With the waze app, they knew the cop was there long before you passed them. yep that was my first thought. Not only has waze kept me from being in traffic jams but is probably kept me from getting at least 2 tickets

I try and warn folks .
Near the middle school in Ocean Springs, Ms. I had just passed a cop shooting radar at oncoming vehicles, quarter mile or more up the road I was slowing down to cross some rough railroad tracks . Another cop [oncoming] was doing the same - I flashed my lights at him then as we met at the tracks I did my fingers like Rollers - there's a cop down there . He shook with a scowl on his face and rolled his eyes -but I know he thought that was funny .

Still do but don’t think as many understand what doing so means. Rarely do I see someone warning me anymore.
