State v. Joseph F. Brown, 2010AP832-CR, District 4, 10/14/10
court of appeals decision (1-judge, not for publication); for Brown: Adam Walsh; BiC; Resp.
It violates § 347.12(1)(a) to flash high-beam headlights within 500 feet of an oncoming vehicle if the latter’s high-beams are not themselves lit. Because Brown flashed his high-beams within 500 feet of an officer’s oncoming vehicle and, according to the trial court’s findings, the officer’s high-beams weren’t lit, the officer had probable cause to stop Brown for violating § 347.12(1)(a).
