Im glad to hear that you haven’t been unfairly targeted, however that doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen to others.

I’m not talking down or making any assumptions about you, just sharing another point based on my experience. Some cops definitely target certain groups of people and do random pullovers. I’m not suggesting that drivers check to see who is driving and flash brights at specific groups. Just that if you give every car a quick warning flash, some people who get routinely targeted by cops might appreciate the few moments of warning.

It’s not just about speeding though- if you’re in a group that gets targeted by police while driving (eg BIPOC drivers, young women) it’s helpful to have a little warning so you’re not startled by a surprise cop.

Don’t you think if people see a flash and then a cop, they’ll start noticing a pattern? Especially because I’m not trying to invent a new thing, just trying to keep a thing going. Even if you’re not speeding it’s just nice to know there’s a cop ahead. I get panicky when I see cops and it’s helpful to have a warning. Lots of cops pull over people of color and/or young women for no legitimate reason so it’s scary and it’s helpful to have a little warning

It’s really nice! The detail and the grays are done really well! The only thing I’d change is to make the gray face more consistent on the building you left simple. I like that there’s less detail there, but the fact that it goes from dark to light makes it pop out more, and I think if you made that gray wash more consistent it would help it sit more quietly behind that really nice building in front of it

But are people driving around looking at their phones to see the warnings? Jeez. I must be getting old. I think it’s courteous to give a little flicker of a warning.
