There are no laws that say flashing your lights to warn others of speed traps is illegal. In fact, doing so was ruled protected free speech. Please provide a source that it is illegal in your state and people are being ticketed.
I’m in Canada, and in my province of Alberta you’ll get a ticket for ‘stunting’ when you’re caught doing it. The definition of stunting is broad enough for them to get away with it. Find your own source with a search for “Alberta stunting headlights”, you’ll see people bitching about their tickets on Reddit and articles about people fighting it, etc.
Personally if I ever happened to be driving in the states I would never try it regardless of what anyone claims about “free speech”; your cops get away with much more shenanigans than ours and just need an excuse, regardless of the laws definition.
