Why you don't want to be caught with blue lights on your car

LaGrange police took to Facebook Monday afternoon to highlight illegal blue lights as their traffic law of the month.

They reminded the public that it's illegal for them to have blue lights on their vehicle aside from a few expectations.

The Georgia law concerning blue lights state that it shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to operate any motor vehicle equipped with or containing a device capable of producing any blue lights, whether flashing, blinking, revolving or stationary.

Exceptions include vehicles owned or leased by any federal, state or local law enforcement agency as well as vehicles with a permit granted by a state agency to bear such lights.

Antique, hobby, and special interest vehicles may display a blue light or lights of up to 1 inch in diameter as part of any such vehicle's rear stop lamps, rear turning indicator, rear hazard lamps and rear reflectors.
