Freind of mine got a warning on Travis for them as well.
Just know if you run colored leds your eventually gonna get stopped.
No different than blasting music or doing anything else attention getting on a high profile vehicle.
You can argue all you want but you are calling attention to yourself by using colors that emergency vehicles use. I myself try to not call attention to myself but thats just me..Been driving boats since 1981, have yet to be pulled over by an LEO in all that time.

You can tell them they must be OK now because Arrowhead has a whole bunch of them on their docks now.

I think everyone should put a string of flashing blue Christmas lights on their boat for the Christmas Festival of Lights Parade.:evilb:

WOW! that is a great run. I have a saying, "They always have to be f%$king with someone!" Around the river here, if they see you and don't have someone already then your next. This is no mater what. Boating here must be the safest in the country. I have had numerous safety checks and they are always grumpy when I have an answer to their questions. Just looking for anything!

Maybe they were MTI guys? lol, they pulled us over on our lake while we were running with them on and said they were illegal also.

They absolutely did not like my lights MTI or Skater guys. I bet 99% of the reason they tagged you was to "check out" your passengers AKA Deck Jewlery:evilb:
