    Maybe they were blinded by the super bright flashing lights on ice?

    I remember when police cars just had the light on the roof and wig-wag headlights. They have so much lights on them now on every nook and cranny you can possibly stick a light on and it’s overkill and blinding. When you have multiple cars on the roadway.

    i was going thru the auction site, that @Chinatown mentioned in one of his posts, they had if i recall at least 2 police SUV's, Fords, i think, and they were stripped of all the emergency lights, holes, holes, everywhere......lol

    each one had i think at least 100,000 miles on them...

    when i was in the garage business, i had a customer that bought used town police cars, Chrysler's, with big engines, and each one he would buy, needed a new timing chain and gears, and those things would run like no tomorrow....he got a lot of use out of each one too, and made back some money when he resold them....

    some people look for and buy used cop cars, no matter the miles or condition.

    No kidding. Those lights are so intense it gives me instant eye strain. You can't even see what's beyond the lights because they create a massive black void beyond them.

    Yeah, this is getting worse and worse. Then there's the fact that the norm now is 5 cops to do the job of one. One guy speeding and there's 5 cops pulled over behind him all with blinding lights?

    On the talk of the lights… a few months ago I got blinded by law enforcement lights. It was much more visible than what I have seen in the past. Had to cover the car with my hand to have some vision. At some point you can be excessive with visibility where it can be a unintentional hazard.
