Personally I’ve found that the new police lights that use LEDs are the worst. They’re blindingly bright. So you get to the scene of an accident, or where there’s some construction work or other hazard and the police are trying to direct you... except you can’t see a damn thing because of their lights.
- notacoward 9y agoI bitched at my town PD about this once. Their new cars have bright white "takedown lights" that are intended to keep a target from looking at them directly. I don't think much of the idea in general, but these ones were aimed so high that they overshot the vehicle being stopped and blinded oncoming drivers instead. So I emailed the chief. I probably wasn't the only one. In any case, they both adjusted them more downwards and stopped using them so much, so it hasn't been a problem since. If you encounter the same problem, I suggest at least trying to find the right contact to let them know. You might be surprised by the result.
- yorby 9y agoThey do something about blinding lights, but not about shooting unarmed citizens? I'm a bit skeptic...
