That decision is, at best, only binding in Seminole County, FL. Another judge in Seminole County could rule the opposite. It will not be binding law unless it is upheld on appeal. Then, it would only be binding in those courts within that appellate district.
I think it is the right decision, but that the First Amendment free speech is not good enough by itself.
Think about the public policy benefit of warning people to slow down being an important factor in getting drivers to begin driving safely immediately...
Understood. The waring thing was common when we lived in Texas, not as much here in South Carolina. I have seen it used to war about stopped traffic or accident as well as speed traps.
I was warned by a State Trooper on a day they had blitzed a local secondary highway with 10+ marked and unmarked cars. It's mostly 55 MPH, but during peak periods of traffic to a Government facility it's 70+ in the left lane and 60 in the right most everybody understands. I was respectful, but did say flashing my lights was slowing down traffic to a safer speed. His response was, "If you do that I might as well stay home!" I overcame the urge to say that would be fine with me. I just want to get to work and home in the least amount of time.

Agree 100% running red lights is so common here the green light means proceeded at risk and turn signal bulbs never wear out.
