Last time I checked, LEO didn't mean law enforcement official, it meant law enforcement officer. A bit different but the same idea.
Carry on.

i was driving home the other day when i noticed about 30 feet in front of me off on the breakdown/turn lane (this is a county road) a woman driving a van at about 15 miles under the speed limit. it was night time, couldn't see anything and she was in entire stealth mode. not a single light. that's extremely dangerous, and, in fact i think it would have been less dangerous to drive in the lane even if your lights didn't work. at one point the breakdown lane disappears because of a train overpass, and others it turns into turn lanes. and of course someone could be broken down themselves in the breakdown lane
ive seen people driving who i thought were motorcycles because of their light issues. no, they were actually driving halfway in my lane coming towards me
i dont see anything wrong with these types of things. they do enhance public safety. sure it lines their coffers too, but it does help to ensure people are driving safely
