I respect the laws and those who enforce them. Honestly, when I have been out plowing, I have see numerous trucks with clear/red hide-a-way strobes drive right past cruisers and not get stopped. I beleive that it is not only the discretion of the police, but also of the plow drivers. Most of the time we the plowers are out in the middle of the night, when there are no cars in sight, so I wouldn't see the point in stopping someone in that situation. Also, being a police officer, they should realize how stupid drivers are today, the blue lights on their cruisers aren't just for getting peopl eout of the way, aren't they also for safety once you get to an accident, so no one runs into you??? Personally, I shut my amber strobes off once I am in a parking lot plowing, and leave my hazards on. I will however activate all of my lights when pulling out onto extremely busy streets, especially once the snow has ended and we are cleaning up, and there are hundreds of cars on the roads again. Once again, I believe it is both the discretion of the police, and the plow drivers. To me, I would rather risk the ticket over getting into an accident with a little compact car, putting the 750lb. plow through their car, and them sueing me because they "couldn't see me coming."
