FAQ about Police Strobe Lights

Has anyone ever had a seizure due police or firetruck strobe lights? I was walking down a sidewalk a few days ago and a police car was parked with its lights on and my eyes were hurting, had a headache 30 minutes and vomited afterwards. Attributing that to the police car would take a long stretch, perhaps you had a sudden Migraine.~

Police strobe lights in civilian vehicle? I have a friend who has red/blue strobe emergency lights on his civilian vehicle. He has ordinary plates, no credentials whatsoever.

Police Strobe Lights? I am looking for strobe lights to buy and found these.... http://www.autodirectsave.com/prod/AutoDirectSave.Com_Free_Shipping/Police_Light_Sound/Visor_&_Grille_Strobes/Grille__bumper_Strobe/260 Is there anyway I can sorta conceal these..because I dont want everybody to stop or freak out that there is what they think a cop behind them but I am really a volunteer fire fighter. So is there any way I can put those inside the grill that way you can barely see them? Thanks Again Haters: I know what I am doing, because I know the laws. I am a volunteer firefighter and I am a loud in my state So where are these new LEDS at? What is the company? Why don't you purchase the round blue light that you put on your dash board when you need it. Everyone should understand by the light being blue and not red that you are a volunteer trying to get to your firehouse.

What law prevents me from installing non-police sirens, and non-police magnetic strobe lights on my car? Say I were to buy this magnetic strobe light: http://www.shop.com/Double_flash_Xenon_Strobe_Lights-24843239-p!.shtml And this siren: http://www.galls.com/style.html?assort=general_catalog&style=SK125 Now, I install them on my Minivan, turn on the siren, turn on the strobe light, and drive to work. Under what juresdiction can the police stop me from doing this? I presume that they can claim that the siren is a "disturbance of the peace," which is true, but so is playing music really loud. As for the strobe light, how can they stop me from using the strobe light? I will not be running lights, I will not be speeding; just driving, as people get out of my way. I am not "immitating an officer of the law," either. I am simply driving with a siren and strobe light. I know it is wrong is some way or another: "Hay, you should wait in traffic like the rest of us, jerk!" But, how is it against the law? -Andrew wiltzandrew1989 on Y! Messenger, wiltzandrew on AIM and MyspaceIM If the color of the strobe is the same color that is used by police in your town, then you will be facing impersonation of a police officer charges. Light and sirens are only to be used on Emergency Vehicles, not someone who oversleeps everyday & has an illegal light/siren to get to work without being late. Let me know what state you live in & I will edit on this answer chapter & verse of your state law of every single law you violate & the penalties you will face for doing something as stupid as this. Also, if you cause an accident while imitating an emergency vehicle, you can be charged for that & if you caused any injuries, or God forbid, a death- you can kiss your license & your life goodbye. You will most likely be spending a lot of time getting to know you local jail.

What police lights are legal in Indiana? hello, i am looking to buy some police strobes for my car. I have been looking on the internet and cant find any rules reguarding color, or type. I am thinking about getting Wig-Wags, Hide-a-way Strobes for the turnsignals, and some visor lights. I live in Indiana, and are not sure what color i should get to be legal. I am NOT a first responder, police, or EMT yet. I would like to get Red and blue lights, but i think they might be illegal. Any Advice? I found this about IN. ---- Red are for regular emergency vehicles such as ambulances and fire trucks. Private vehicles such as an ambulance by a private company require a red light permit. Red and blue are used on police vehicles. Volunteer fire fighters use blue lights.
Basically, you could probably put whatever lights you want in your vehicle, if you activate them then you're looking at problems.

The lights were flashing The white strobe light is used to enhance their visibility and police presence. It is especially helpful if you are in need of them. You can see them a mile away.
It does tend to confuse people because they are not sure if they are supposed to pull over, as it happened to you. Next time you see one, unless it is blue and red, just continue driving normally.

Can LEDs on a police lightbar replace strobes for intersection lights at night? Specifically, do LEDs have the same strobing effect on cars, windows, traffic signs, as strobe lights do? At night, strobe lights are extremely effective for advance warning on corners, and since I've never seen a police car or fire truck with LED lights, just strobes and rotators, I'm curious if the effect is still there with LEDs. Our department also just recently switched to led's to replace the strobes on all of our patrol cars.I would have to say that they are much better,and efficient than the strobes.The led's are also much brighter,thus,you can see the lights from a farther distance.

Is it illegal to have police lights on my truck? I have a show truck and it is also my every day driver. I was curious if I could put LED police strobe strips in the grill or under the truck if I do not activate them while on the road. Thanks ;) I live in Illinois. Generally speaking, you should not have any problems. As long as they are only used while stationary, off of the public roadways, no one is going to give you any hassle. Obviously, if you did use them for anything other than attracting attention at a show, the penalties can be very stiff, starting with the charge of impersonating an officer. I own an emergency vehicle equipment business and we have several customers that have done just what you're asking and have not had any issues from law enforcement. It all boils down to personal responsibility.
