Well, the issue isnt the need to respond with lights off,,,its given that sometimes they need the surprise element,....BUT WHY THE MUCK do they need the needless tailgate? You can still speed up and pass like a normal person,,,I dont think that there are that many "freaked out" accidents due to police lights...That sounds like a made up argument by the police to justify their actions.
