Community Safety Education Act

The Community Safety Education Act requires that driver education and driving safety courses include information about law enforcement procedures for traffic stops. The Flashing Lights video will be used to fulfill this requirement. The video demonstrates the proper actions for law enforcement officers and motorists to take during a traffic stop, including:

  • the role of law enforcement and the duties and responsibilities of peace officers;
  • a person's rights concerning interactions with peace officers; proper behavior for civilians and peace officers during their interactions;
  • laws regarding questioning and detention by peace officers, including any law requiring a person to present proof of identity to a peace officer, and the consequences when either officers or motorists or passengers fail to comply with those laws; and
  • how and where to file a complaint against a peace officer or to submit a compliment for a peace officer.
