new york state troopers pulled me over on the palasedes pkwy. got an 80 / 55 and use of unauthorized lights / wrong color.

i was not traveling with them on. when i saw them i flashed them as a "hello", Im an EMT and also work in emergency response for nyc. For other cops thats accepted, for troopers, they'd ticket their moms.

any idea what the light fine would be?


thanx

That's section 375 of the Vehicle and Traffic Law:
http://public.leginfo.state.ny.us/menugetf.cgi?COMMONQUERY=LAWS

Red is a no go, even in NYC. Surprised you didn't get dinged sooner. No way to guesstimate fine amount, (though I heard NYS just raised their surcharge to $85, so don't forget to add that to any total given as a fine).
