What wrong with them...
When's California going to stop being such a fascist putz?
We like it that way! It keeps the urban vehicles where they belong... Out of the un-congested country sideUnpaved "wash board" vibrators . . . for hours . . .
It's not California, it is federal. California took the federal government to court and lost, so now the federal government has the authority to enforce it everywhere. If the local authority does not enforce it to there liking they can and will withhold federal highway funds.
The federal law specifically states where the required lights are to be located and where they are not.
The states can add attitudinal requirements that are not in the federal regulations
The photos do not show the required clearance and marker lights on the ambulance body
The blacked out covers are a violation because the law states all lights must be operational.
The white lights are a violation because only headlights and high beams are allowed to point straight out. Flood lights must be aimed at the ground near the vehicle.
The red and blue side and forward facing lights are a violation.
The forward facing red reflectors are a violation.
The amber lights are also a violation.
The siren is a real touchy one, the pa portion and horn function are ok but the siren is not.
The stripe should be removed.
There are multiple exemptions and modifications to the requirements for specific types or uses of vehicles.
Basically the officer did you a favor by not listing everything individually or just impounding the vehicle.
