Neat lights, but at night those have got to be extremely distracting

There must be NO REAL CRIME around there. The kicker is that the cop doesn't understand the code. Read it again, it clearly states "...It shall be lawful to equip any other vehicle with a similar warning light including, but not by way of limitation..."

I for one would let you keep the lights. Lights and bling like that make it easier to recognize the morons.

I'm glad I live in a city where the cops are too busy fighting real crime to bother with chickensh@# like this.
I thing your missing the point about cops. In reality a cop is a revenuer. They generate a enormous amount of money for the city. However the wheels are still stupid looking.

Take them off. Tell the procecutor that the cop must have been halucinating from smell of the Dunkin Donut box you had on the seat next to you.

Boston Creme makes them see little sparkly lights.

X2 Bubba may be a jeep fan as well

Around here the cops are not making money. It costs a lot of money to maintain the vehicles, keep the jail, insurance, etc... I know when I lived in Montana the Hells Angels came twice and each time it cost about $150,000 for the one week. It has gotten so expensive to have police that I know some areas are actually adding a fuel surcharge onto any moving violations they give out since most budgets are created 2 years in advance.

Hi, I'm with local Jeep Custody Service. You've been abusing your Jeep and we're taking it to someone who'll care for it the way it should be.

WTF did you do to it???

I'm out, I can't even look at this thread anymore

Ah, a fellow SSgt in Security Forces. I believe that we think alike on that one.

all radar where i live in texas. My V1 picks all of the cops up from a loooong way away.

The wheels are distracting and if there isnt a law against it then there should be.
