No but I think that's what folks are saying. I've been seeing it for years and because I'm a certain age, I know what people are "trying" to say but it's stopped being a thing for many people so it's not going to suddenly sink in NOW after dying off as common practice for decades. As someone else also pointed out, many new cars have "auto" settings that go on and off to high beams or on and off altogether because the sensors in their cars are doing it automatically so you're seeing a lot more automatic flashes that defeat the purpose. When I learned to drive in the 80s, flashing lights ONLY meant that. It's just stopped being a thing for all of the above reasons so you'd be 100% fighting a losing battle here. But you can sure try! I think most people also get their cop info from phone apps anyway which IMHO is very reliable (at least with Waze). It isn't about police brutality, it's about we're all doing something that now is for middle aged/old people and past the point of being adopted again.
