A federal judge in Missouri ruled this week held that drivers have a First Amendment right to flash their headlights to warn other motorists of nearby police and speed traps.

Yeah. I thought the cell phone jammer was kewel myself.
Then I thought about emergencies or cops breaking into your house with no announcement.
Yes, you're right. Make sure your lights are working, your registration and insurance are in order, and your buttocks don't appear to be clenched.
Suppose you had a police scanner, and you heard that the cops were coming to pick up your neighbor. So you run over to your neighbor’s house, and speak, using your 1st amendment right to free speech “Hey, the police are coming to arrest you” — and your neighbor hops in his car and gets away.
Do you think this is OK, or have you aided a criminal to evade capture?
I think you might be able to distinguish that from flashing lights by an argument that you don’t KNOW that anybody on the other side is speeding, plus speeding isn’t really a criminal violation, more of a civil thing.
what’s the signal/warning of anal exams ahead?

Just plain flashing, I’d guess.
