I can see in a case where an undercover officer would be in danger if their identity were revealed but uniformed cops where uniforms for a reason -- to be easily identified.

Also, people around here flash their lights for deer ahead. Heaven forefend a cop be nearby.

Indeed, I flash for deer here, too. longship Apr 2013 #5
