So I have been offered a few road jobs recently and they require you to have emergency lights while doing so.
I know plenty of LEO's who do these with red/blue lights and strobes on their personal vehicles.
I was looking through the transportation code, though, and noticed that it pretty much says unless your vehicle is owned by a government entity, it is not a police vehicle. Therefor, it shouldn't have any red/blue lights.
Here's an older article on the same subject I found. http://tdcaa.infopop.net/2/OpenTopic...5&m=7741036751
My question is, what is the legality of having red/blue lights and strobes on your POV for the purpose of escorts, traffic jobs, etc? Also, does anyone know if any union or organization is doing anything to change the definition of police vehicle in Texas?
