Does a cop have to have his lights on when he catches you for speeding?

Question:
I was wondering if it's true that a cop must have his/her lights on when they are sitting there trying to clock people on their radar. Will this type of defense work in court if he did not have them on, but he ticketed you for speeding? Several times I've seen cops sitting in places trying to catch people without their lights on, but can they ticket you if their lights were off?

coming from a guy who has had several speeding tickets himself they most certainly can. It is the most common way to get caught because if you knew they were there you would have slowed down. They can hide just about anywhere and tend to all the time.
