I am heading for the store and make my first stop at the bank. As I drive out there is a "river bed" that I have to drive over and along the river bed there is a jogging path. Along the path there is a motorcycle cop riding the path with his lights and strobes going... 1st "hmmmm" then about 2 blocks away there is a cruiser with its 'yellow' light bar flashing driving along. No 'red' or 'blue' lights ... just yellow.

After going to the store I see ANOTHER cruiser with the same lights on...differnt cop though. Then one more on my street.

What is with the Yellow lights?? any significance?

They're probably searching for a suspect, and being quiet and passive about it. The lights are so people take notice of them, so at any second if the have to bolt somewhere, people around them are already aware to get the hell out of the way.

Then again, the Krispy Kreme idea is good too. [:D]

Stay low and out of sight and have a fire extinguisher handy.

I bet the bikepath is a quick way to go somewhere sometimes :D  if I had a nice CBR 600f3 I bet I could be at the beach in 10 min from Kraemer Blvd and the Santa Ana riverbed

Seriously, you would be amazed at what happens right in your vicinity that you never even know about. I love in a nice quite community, and I have upped my defensive posture a couple times in the last year due to suspects running on foot in my vicinity or a srting of break ins on one night, or prowler reports.

Ya man. I was monitoring the police when they were chasing 3 armed robbery suspects near my location. I found out how sensitive the FLIR on their helicopter. When I stuck my head out a window they lit me up with the nightsun.
