7. Slowing down and putting your hazards on...

Should be all that’s needed. Shouldn’t have to concern yourself with police instructions if you are looking for a well lit place with people around.

I’ve had a vehicle with lights and a PA system on it. I’m not an officer. It’s very inexpensive to do.

To be transparent I had mine to bust friends partying. It was hilarious but I only got to do it a couple of times before everyone was aware. First party I busted was my own. I had a large party(we were teenagers) and went on a beer run with a friend. Went around the corner and fastened my lights on the top. I came around the corner to my house hauling ass with the lights on and my buddy yelling “let me see your hands” over the PA. It was a sea of teenagers throwing their beers and running. I’ll never forget how many of them actually threw their beers over the roof of the house. Fools.

Anyways, we should always be given the opportunity to find a well lit place with people around. No guarantee it’s actually an officer. Even if it is an officer, witnesses are a good thing. Of course you need to slow to at least the speed limit and get in the right lane. Something tells me this officer has been dreaming about performing the PIT maneuver on someone.
