I've been trying to find out information on warning others of police. The flashing headlights issue comes up more than any other. And the jury is out, at least with the little research I have done. I have found people who say it is legal, and others who claim they have been ticketed and fined. (These are on forums across the US.)

As far as other warnings, I have found limited information, most seem to thing it is freedom of speech to tell others of police presence.

Another thought - traveling north on 301 there are billboards announcing speed traps in some of the communities. Gets my attention every time. If those warnings were illegal it seems they would be gone, they have been there for quite a while.
