Some guy around Alabama or Georgia got arrested and convicted of "Impersonating a cop" for using a blue flashing light when his car broke down. He appealed to Federal court and got the conviction overturned, with the court stating that as long as the blue light was being used for safety, then the guy had a legitimate right to use it.

If anyone knows the case # for that appeal, please post it. It would be a good one to have handy.
