Really?! God, I hate cops. I always flash oncoming traffic to let them know there is a cop on the road.

that is so weak....

I would have passed that on a multiple choice quiz. LE probably sees it as assisting a "criminal" when it's closer to encouraging a fellow motorist to slow down.

I always flash my high beams during daylight hours or flash my driving lights at night. Fuck 'em.

It's illegal in the same way that recording police is illegal. That's to say, not at all.

I thought the supreme court already ruled that warning other motorist of a speed trap was covered under the freedom of speech.

Contempt of cop is a crime punishable by death in some states.

You can't always trust Wikipedia, but...

In the United States, the legality of headlight flashing varies from state to state. Historically, law enforcement officers give citations for headlight flashing under three types of laws: (1) laws prohibiting a person from obstructing a police investigation, (2) laws prohibiting a person from having flashing lights on their vehicle, and (3) laws prohibiting shining a vehicle's high beams at oncoming traffic. The specific language of each law varies by state along with courts' holdings on whether their respective laws prohibit headlight flashing.
