AB 668

This bill provides that a publicly owned or leased vehicle that is displaying

public official registration plates, is marked as a community service officer vehicle,

and is being operated in the course of official business by a community service officer

may be equipped with one or more flashing, oscillating, or rotating red warning lights

that may be used only when the vehicle is stationary and being used to direct traffic

or alert motorists. The bill defines “community service officer” as an individual who

is not a sworn law enforcement officer and who supports basic law enforcement

operations in an official capacity. Under current law, an authorized emergency

vehicle may be equipped with one or more flashing, oscillating, or rotating red lights.
