There is no state law regarding possessing a firearm within 1000 feet of schools. There is a federal law, but it has exceptions and is not enforceable by LEOs who are not Federal LEOs.
Taking your side of the events as 100% you should file a complaint with the Texas Rangers for a violation of Texas law, and you should file a lawsuit in federal court for the violation of your civil rights.
Please let us know when you do.
There is no need for a person to be an "outlaw" to be stopped for a traffic violation.
Section 547.305 of the Trasnportation Code makes it illegal to diaplay a red, white, or blue beacon, flashing, or alternating light unless specifically authorized.
Turns signals are authorized to flash, stop lamps are not. Seems he did know the law.
On my last bike the tail lamp and brake light were one and the same. So, according to what I just read, it very well can flash, but I have been known to be wrong from time to time.(c) A person may not operate a motor vehicle equipped with a red, white, or blue beacon, flashing, or alternating light unless the equipment is:
(1) used as specifically authorized by this chapter; or
(2) a running lamp, headlamp, taillamp, backup lamp, or turn signal lamp that is used as authorized by law.
What does this female outlaw biker look like to attract the attention of this Cleburne police officer? Here is a picture of her on her bike with my son on the back.

A real outlaw, don't you think?
I guess he was having a boring day. Either that, or he didn't know the law. For the public's sake, I hope he was just haveing a boring day.

First, it was not flashing, it was rotating but constantly on. Second, a Texas Highway Patrol Officer (in uniform at a motorcycle shop) suggested that I purchase one for my motorcycle
Because you are another area of concern for him, and a potential threat to him. Cops are assaulted in the daytime all of the time.it was the Cleburne officers unusual behavior that alarmed me. He obviously didn't want me around while dealing with my wife. Why?
Yes, I know what he wrote, What he described is prohibited in the Texas Transportation code.txinvestigator and drbart2,
You are speaking around each other from what I can tell. txinvest (sorry for the abr) you are obviously referring to emergency or warning lights used by LE and FD to negotiate traffic or pull someone over while if you read the post by drbart2 he is referring to a high visibility taillight designed to be used in the existing tail lamp location as a direct replacement bulb (from what I gather from the post and what I know of auto parts) not a rotating beacon as you have in mind.
I've seen a guy on a motorcycle with a rifle slung on his back.
I'm so tempted to put a gun rack on my 2004 Ford Mustang just for the heck of it.
