CT is the same. From a mile away, they are fine and alert one to their
presence (which cracks me up how people drive to 200 feet and slam on
the brakes "OMG, a cop!").
But, driving through a scene, I can't see shit, like if a cop decides to
walk in front of my car. If there's only one cop, I block the light
with my hand, but if there's multiples, I'm doomed.

And yet, the auto manufacturers claim that the blinding Lexus blue
headlights are no more bright to oncoming traffic.
