For the record My lightbar indeed saved my vehicle and perhaps my life as well as my family by giving me enough time to slow down and avoid 3 stray horses on the highway. This is why I find the "law" so frustrating. They help. I'm proof of that. One of my good friends just wrote off his Subaru because he swerved and avoided a moose and hit a tree. Had he had an LED light bar, which he now has on his new vehicle, He swears he could have slowed down and avoided a crash with the increased reaction time.

I feel this is a pretty clear indication that what the officer did was clearly a wrong doing. The officer will now have to wait to have another officer present as well in any future dealings with my employee as per the conversation.

Justice. Is. Served.

Edit. Also this was the "easy way out" for the officer and from what I understand my employee agreed to the new lightbar in lieu of other possible punishment for the officer.

How short was the wire cut that they agreed to buy a new light bar?

Sorry, my post didn't apply to your situation - I was saved from hitting a deer just south of Cache Creek a couple years ago, thanks to my light bar.

I was responding to sebbery's typical stupidity a couple posts above mine.
