You are the mayor of your city. There has been an ongoing problem in your city with people installing emergency lights on their vehicles and using them to cut through traffic and causing other accidents. The city council has approved a new law to deal with the problem. The new law reads as follows:
"No emergency lights on non-official vehicles".
You are asked to sign the bill or rewrite the bill - consider the following scenarios. Determine if the action violates the law:
1. "on its face",
2. the purpose of the law, and
3. if the action should be permitted. Rewrite the law as you see fit to address the scenarios.
