With the change over to LED lighting on police cars, this has become a real issue in my opinion, particularly when they gather in mass around a wreck.
I had an incident a couple of weeks back where I was approaching a wreck on a two lane road before dawn on my way to work. There were 3 cop cars, on ambulance and a wrecker all with LED lights blaring away. The lights were so bright it completely destroyed my night vision and the ability to discern anything around the scene other than the lights. I almost sideswiped a cop that was standing out in front of his vehicle in the road but was invisible even with his safety vest on because he was on the "other side" of the lights. Had I not been moving past him at about 2MPH I'm pretty sure I would have hit him.
