I don't think it's so cut and dry... The officers my wife works with on the midnight shift will respond to a scene with the lights off. In the middle of the night when drivers are tired/wasted, it's safer to fly by them with the flashers off before they have a chance to react. A lot of accidents are caused by a "freaked out" motorist seeing the flashing lights at the last second and makes a sudden move as the officers car is right on them.
