I was told that you are only authorized to use a blue light when responding to a call but I wanted to know if i was driving and witnessed an accident and stopped to help until fire/ems arrive can I turn on my blue light to alert other traffic? Thanks in advance for you input.

The Code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules.

Continuing.....removing the light and running it over at least 71 times with a steam roller should also suffice."Loyalty Above all Else. Except Honor."

Get rid of the light. You will be noticed, people will ask about the light, know you are not on a department, and you will be visiting with the state police.
Even if you are not "driving" with it, just sitting on the side of the road. They will probably go after criminal impersonation charges.
