my58vw,
I'll refrain from commenting on the light issue as I don't think it could be said any better than acreature has said it. But one word of advice. If you really want to get hired by this department in CA, I'd suggest you seriously cut back on what you post here. It would not be hard for any actual LEO to do a little digging, discover what department you are applying to, and forward all the...shall we say..."questionable" posts that you have put on here. I know that many of them would make our BI guys look at you in a different light.
I'm not bashing you...really. Just making an observation that you may want to consider.
