I just had a notion for an experiment. Put the light bar on a pole that
can extend and rotate, so when the cruiser stops, lift the light bar up
above the traffic lane high enough that trucks won't hit it. Do that
for half your police fleet, and use the regular ones for the other, and
at the end of a year see which has had more rear-enders while stopped on
the side of the road.
