There is no requirement that the police officer I have his lights on. The police officer can observe a violation as he drives by your vehicle. In addition, there is no requirement that the police officer be any specific jurisdiction. The police officer can issue a violation for actions that he sees in another jurisdiction. The case will not be dismissed based upon the officers failure to have his lights on or the fact that he is from a different jurisdiction.
