Obviously another officer was oncoming, and was flashed.
Here in B.C. It is illegal to high beam oncoming drivers who are closer than 100 meters (i think that is the distance). That is what they ticket you for.
You can also get a ticket for flashing your lights off, and on. The universal 'turn on your headlights' signal. Driving without your headlights is the ticket, ironicaly.
Other than that it does not appear to be illegal to warn drivers specifically about speed traps here. Radio stations do it all the time. In fact, one station has a former traffic cop as an ' eye in the sky' and he warns where the guys with 'hair dryers' are standing.
The reasonable person would find nothing wrong with that.
If the object is to reduce speeding, you are causing many drivers to slow down.
Revenue reduction, not safety is the obvious answer to those who would try to curtail warning drivers.
