i just got to me a Whelen Talon windshield mounted Blue/Red LED strobelight for SHOWS and was wondering if it is illegal to have the windshield strobe mounted in FL even though it will only be used for showing off not for street use? if anyone knows I would greatly appreciate it.

 

as long as you don't light it up, they cant say anything about it.

 

thats what i figured but i thought maybe since it was still visible they would still be able to get me for impersonating a law enforcement officer

 

as long as they arent blinking, you can have all the police strobes you want

 

what about if u had them on showing them off in a parking lot car not moving or anything?

 

I'm just going to chime in and say be VERY careful. It only takes one person to see the strobes and then get you for tint being to dark and anything else they can find.

 

The law about lights, from what I understood, was that you cant have any Flashing or Steady lights that are blue or red when the car is Moving, or is caused to move. as long as the car is parked, they shouldnt bother too much, but you always have those cops that will give you a hard time no matter what

 

if you're parked, you're a-ok.


trust me, i've asked police friends when i installed my whelen strobes

 

tell me about IT !!!

I almost got arrested for not wanting to remove my tints by hand .......


stay away from high way patrol they are all ... well you know what im gunna say HAHA

 

They can't arrest you for tint. . . or for not making the necessary repairs to make your car streetable. It's not a criminal offense and there are no grounds for prosecution. They CAN tow and impound your car for failure to comply with the vehicle code. You can put all the turbos tints and neons you want; you can't go to jail for it. If they threaten you with imprisonment, then you are either talking back to the officer (very stupid) or you have a very credible law suit against the cop.

You CAN be arrested for impersonating an officer (even if it's with your car mods), and the law is open to interpretation. That is definitely a criminal offense, as is drunk driving, wreckless driving, etc.

 

yeah.. im juts gunna pay the ticket... and take the KO !
