Warning other drivers of a speed trap is a constitutional right

A man has won his court case, claiming he cannot be fined for flashing his lights to warn other motorists of a speed trap, but unfortunately, he won the case in Texas.

According to the Orlando Sentinel, a Circuit Court judge said that the officer who gave Ryan Kintner a ticket had misapplied a state law banning aftermarket flashing emergency lights. That seems pretty sensible, as headlights are not exactly aftermarket items. However the judge also ruled that flashing your lights to communicate with other drivers is protected by the right to free speech.
