I've been in front of many judges, and I can't see them sticking that to someone. Hell, I've even flashed my lights AT police before when they were in oddball cars that I would typically think was a normal civilian car until I got up close to it. I'm more careful about it now, but I still flash

i think a lot of people stopped flashing their lights because you can be ticketed for it. my uncle got a ticket for it a few years ago. They probably file it under "obstruction of justice" or some BS.

I thought it was funny though when I was going down to Mccoy falls (new river) a few weekends ago, and on Mccoy Rd on my way there EVERY CAR coming towards me flashed its lights. I was like "wtf people never do that anymore". Low and behold there was a DUI check at the intersection of the end of the road. Apparently nothing unites college people more than DUI fears

Justice= catching those driving dangerously before they slow down because they've been warned by on coming drivers

obstructing= blocking

flashing lights at oncomers for speed trap reason= preventing the police from catching a would-be speeder

Obstructing Justice sounds like a fair charge to me.

why the hell would a cop HAVE to be visible when clocking you? If that's a true law it's fuckin dumb as hell.
