Turns out my brake light was out.
"Which one, the left or right?"
The upper center one

As God is my witness I thought this was an optional bonus brake light.

Bulb replacement was a success, and I'm no longer a menace to society.

It's a gateway violation.

So what do the cops have to say about all the guys driving Rangers with a canopy that blocks the third brake light? (Like I did for a couple of decades.) Nobody ever rear ended me; was I just lucky?

This relates back to that other post: "What feature do you find most useless on your ride?"

Rangers are a form of mountie, so it is professional courtesy.

Your compliant! Yay, this reminds me of the vanity plates that go around the license tag, some block the county where the veehickle is registered (In FL that is the way they do it.) Its a violation, do you see multiple ones every time you go out? Yep, you do. I just installed two front indicator lenses for my 96 Jeep for forty dollars along with some amber 1157 bulbs.

Did you get a citation or what? Warning? slap on the wrist?

As a trucker can say when you see those semi's with a gazzillion lights on them, this pull over is all I see in their future. If you have a light on a vehicle DOT can pull you over, they will not always but they will on a Semi. As @po18guy stated, it is a gateway ticket to other things.

I think I could make the argument that this is a dangerous feature. That light is 6 feet in front of my bumper. I would prefer drivers focus on the lights that are at my bumper.

Just a verbal warning. But they did take what seemed like a good 10 minutes running a check on my license.

I was tongue-in-cheek suggesting that a brakelight out might lead the driver to violations of United nations neutrality acts or even genocide. This has to be nipped in the bud!

You can't say I didn't warn you.
