Just wondering, how many of you guys full time or part time have a light or lights in your own vehicle for traffic details? Good idea, bad idea?

. . . you see he is a off duty officer has credentials and everything, but he doesn't have a fancy mass permit for the blue lights..do you write him a ticket??
Would you write a ticket for Joe Public, that happened be helping at the scene of an accident and had a blue light flashing for safety? Of course you would.
An off duty police officer having no permit for the light from the DMV has no more "right" to display that light than an ordinary citizen and should receive the same ticket.
Are you a officer?
In that situation I don't think the cop has grounds. In CT anyway, you can put any damned color light in your car that you want without the permit. The catch is that you cannot be moving and using those lights. I'd be suprised if MA didn't have a similar law.

Very different perception of POV red/blue lights out in "Here be Dragons" land....<Snort> What's traffic??
Well I don't drive a cvpi it's a truck. Any officers on here that can comment? Say your dispatched to a car accident in your town and there's a vehicle there with blue lights on assisting the people that were in the accident, you see he is a off duty officer has credentials and everything, but he doesn't have a fancy mass permit for the blue lights..do you write him a ticket??
There is a whacker forum on masscops. It is AWESOME!That's what I kinda thought

Stay away from MASSCOPS! They're all anti-gun, doughnut-eating, neo-nazi's over there!
Does it have to be blue lights to help out at a car accident before a LEO gets there? Yellow lights can be just as bright.
not sure if you need any permit for yellow lights though...
