RE: PC: Re: Penn Central Police patch

[Will <alcoman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Not to drag this out....but that is why CR and now CSX police have a
"multi colored" lightbar on the top of their marked cars....Every state
has different rules about what color lights police and other emergency
vehicles must have.  They cover ALL the possible bases by having every
possibility in the lenses of the colored light bar on top.  (ie blue, red,
yellow and white)
