    What do people with epilepsy do about getting pulled over by cops?

    With the flashing blue lights and all. Serious question, just curious.

    Not all people with epilepsy are sensitive to lights. Approximately 3 out of every 100 people.
    Also most states have laws requiring seizures to be controlled for at least 3 months in order to drive.

    I do have photo-sensitivity to lights, and am allowed to drive.
    I was just pulled over today because i had a tail light out.
    I requested that the lights be turned off and explained that it could cause me to have seizures.
    The police officer then proceeded to laugh in my face. . .

    I found this appalling.
    There has to be some law to keep me safe!
