Don't forget to hit report! Or fire off an email to Geoff. I take liberties in protecting my side from spam and horror, but I don't think I can just up and start deleting the idiot's posts.

What say you, countrymen?

No offense, but have you qualified with that ban stick? I'm sure Nate can tell you the "ban stick" is illegal to purchase, possess, or carry in Wisconsin, Florida and I believe also in California...As long as it's not over 18" in length, colored black or dark blue, or equipped with a pistol grip.

It's OK. He has an orange cap on the end of it.

The law here in oklahoma says that we cant run any forward facing red or blue lens. that means that we can have red or blue facing backwards, but the only people that do that is the city security. we all down here run clear, green or amber. my car has green and white to the front, green and yellow to the back and the only red that i run is the strobes in the tail lights. the car you see in my photo have green lights in the lightbar, clear srtobes in the headlights and reverse lights and a traffic backer package in the rear cautin lights and the tail lights. The reason for so many lights is because we make traffic stopes on our properties and some of our properties are huge. one of our properties is 3 miles long one way with several streets in it. We stop people for speeding and we write tickets that add on to the rent at apartments, weird huh. anyway if they dont pay the tickets, they get evicted. also on the big property, we assist the sherrifs when they are alone, they said they apriciate it, but to get more warning lights on our cars so people can see us.

Around this time a few years ago a South Carolina security officer actually pulled me over on a college campus. I wasn't living down here yet and, being from a state which gives s/o's no legal authority that a private citizen does not possess, I had NO CLUE that the guy had stuff like a gun, arrest authority, the ability to ticket me, and the cooperation of local and state law enforcement. I just figured HAHA that security guard is trying to pull me over lets see how long I can get him to chase me. It was stupid because I was a security officer myself at the time and I should have shown the kind of respect I would want someone to show me when doing my job. Anyway, the reason he was pulling me over is because it was after curfew by a few hours and I was on the property trying to bring my girlfriend (now my wife) home from the emergency room.

He finally caught me when I stopped to drop her off and he was like really angry at me but I was like hey whats the big deal I had just gotten on campus and you tried to pull me over. Then he explained the curfew thing and I was like ok whatever I'm leaving anyways and he let me go.

One year later I was training for security in SC and I found out that he could have at least arrested me for trespassing and I was like wow I'm an idiot.

Shouldnt this be in the Equipment forum?

Anyhow, In Ohio:

Law Enforcement - Red, blue or any combination of the two. Clear can be added to that combination. Blue is restricted to law enforcement

Fire/EMS - Red. But clear and amber can be added is so desired.

Security - Green or amber or any combination

Command - Green

Utility - Amber

As you now know, a security officer in South Carolina has "all the powers of a deputy sheriff," so if he had blue lights... He could of arrested you for more than trespassing. Fleeing and eluding, failure to yield, etc. I'd say you are lucky, indeed.

For conversation's sake, how much did your company or in-house teach you about your law enforcement status? I know SLED only requires a 4 hour course to get a guard up and running, but the law treats security companies much like Sheriff's Departments in powers and responsibilities.

I dont know if we are refernecing the same thing, but in Washington an incident command vehicle is authorized green lighting.
