Some good footage of CHP doing traffic stops. Great video of their light setup in action.
Is there a requirement in California to have a lightbar like CHP's? I haven't found a single agency (yet) that doesn't run a bar like CHP...red/blue front, amber in the rear. I personally don't like that look but was just curious if it's a California requirement or just that everyone likes to copy the CHP.
I was under the impression that the siren must be sounded with the reds and visa versa and that's why CODE 2 never permitted "lights only"
Agencies has strict SOP's, I worked for one, that probibit use of lights only for an emergency response or pursuit. But the CVC and agency SOP's don't agree, while you may be following the letter of the law, you can be found in violation of your agency SOP's. (Been there, done that)
My mistake, we could make traffic stops, but as soon as we went 10-41 (in service) there were at least 3 or 4 priority 1 calls holding, we wouldn't clear from a call so we could get our reports completed, and report writing was almost always interupped by a "cover now" call, or a "FD and medic's are standing back at at 245 (assault with a deadly weapon)" call.Wait, your agency doesn't allow lights to bused except for responses and pursuits? Did I read that correctly?
And it's those types of dumb@$$es that vote too, which is more terrifyingAt the beginning, when the mouth breather on the bicycle rides up to the photographer, "...the CHP demanding to see the registration, kinda heavy handed..." Go home to your Mom's basement and try to get a clue Skippy. People just have no idea. Morons.
Which look? RB or RBA?Is there a requirement in California to have a lightbar like CHP's? I haven't found a single agency (yet) that doesn't run a bar like CHP...red/blue front, amber in the rear.

And reproduce ceaselessly. So more good news from the oxygen thieves. Handled most professionally by CHP though.And it's those types of dumb@$$es that vote too, which is more terrifying
Under CVC, amber is permitted but not required. But it is tradition.I thought all emergency vehicles were required to have a steady or flashing amber on the back side in California? I suppose the traffic advisors/arrow sticks count as a flashing yellow..
Good I'm not in charge out there. Skippy would see what heavy handed looks like.At the beginning, when the mouth breather on the bicycle rides up to the photographer, "...the CHP demanding to see the registration, kinda heavy handed..."
