I would do it on a two lane road, but not on the highway. But you always have to watch out for other cops, because if they see you do this, that is Obstruction of Justice.

I do, and I'm glad when people do the same for me.

As for a cop seeing you do it for others, it's not obstruction. They may pull you over and find something else to ticket you for, but they'd be hard pressed to ticket you for obstruction and have it hold up.

I do it when I can on the 4-lanes. I won't do it if there is someone in front of me, don't want to blind them.

I don't use my high-beams. I alternate between parking/fogs and low beams.
Oh yea, my vote is for yes. Not all the time, and I do watch for other officers.

Too much work, I just use the "flash to pass" function.

I warn them on smaller roads, but usually not on the big interstates.

The funny one was this kid following me going down I-90, radar detector goes off, I slow down and move over... he comes up next to me looks over and then guns it.... the whole time he was looking over I was pointing at my radar detector! Guess who got pulled over about 10 seconds later.
