USB Flashing Siren (AKA Bacon Beacon)

I got another speeding ticket yesterday, driving on Route 80, at the bottom of a steep grade. The flashing blue and reds in the rearview were frightful, especially since CHP gave me an unnecessary verbal Smack Down about the same time last year. (Officer, going 80 in a 25 isn’t even possible in my beat-up 1996 Audi A4.)

This all reminds me of this USB siren light. I don’t know if it makes siren noises, so I’m not sure it’s technically a siren. So let’s just call it a bacon beacon.

I’m pretty sure that if you were to roof-mount it on your car, you’d get a ticket. But there’s no law against putting it on top of your cubicle, and powering it up the next time your TPS reports need to be filed pronto.

The cop was pretty nice this time, though, which is a nice gesture…to go along with the impending insurance rape. Don’t you guys have killers to catch?
