Scott,
I believe that is about the so called Diamond license plates. Any LEO or emergency type vehicle has a Diamond shaped emblem on it that lets them go through red lights and so forth, but it is only supposed to be in an emergency, not on a daily basis like they use it now. Also it should NOT allow them to hog the Disabled Parking Spaces like they do because it saves them 10 steps. Like most things, the idea behind it is good but it has became so abused that many people won't give the right away to them unless they have their lights on. Last week a cop in Redding got into trouble for doing this and all he was doing was running stop signs and through intersections to stop at a sidewalk mail box and mail a letter. This was witnessed by several people and was in the paper. But nothing was done about it he never hit anyone.
