Don’t Blink . . Your Lights

My daughter Kate saw a Sandy police speed trap, and continued on, blinking her lights to warn oncoming drivers. So she gets stopped by one of Sandy’s finest who gives her a ticket (no, you didn’t guess it) failure to dim lights. A bright, sunshiny mid-day. So Kate pleads not guilty. I look up the city code which prescribes when lights must be on, then adds that at such times they must also be dimmed for oncoming vehicles. I’m just looking forward to the fun in court with the city prosecutor when Kate gets a notice: Case dismissed for lack of evidence. Of course it wasn’t lack of evidence but lack of law, lack of officer discipline, abuse of authority. I appreciate Sandy’s finest, but this one ought to be slapped upside the head. Do you have a tale like this to share?
