Who: Florida Highway Patrol What: Ticketed thousands of drivers for flashing their high beams to warn other drivers of a speed trap.
Why it’s an outrage: Under state law, the practice of flashing brights this way isn’t even illegal — it just irks troopers, and they take revenge. And with drivers bringing a class-action suit seeking refunds and damages, the state’s taxpayers could now take a huge hit.
Cure: Troopers should stick to busting speeders.
