TALLAHASSEE -- Erich Campbell thought he was just being helpful the night he flashed his headlights on a busy Tampa highway to warn drivers of a police speed trap ahead.

The Florida Highway Patrol didn’t appreciate the help.Troopers pulled Campbell over and ticketed him.

State law is gonna be the deciding issue....
Ida know....most folks around here wait until after they have passed the cops to flash their lights...not before, where the cops can see it....

I do that all the time.............................but as you mentioned..........AFTER........no point in pushing them to pull you over for any goofy reason. I'm glad that he's fighting this.
