CMV: Cop cars should have to dim their lights at night to a noticable, but less intense level. [US]

I work at night and 90% of my driving time is after the sun is down. At least twice a week, there is someone pulled over and the cops lights are so bright that it's blinding to a point where I cannot tell which lane they're in - if they are even in a lane - or if they're on the side of the road. It's more of a hazard than anything. Especially in rural areas with little to no street lights and construction zones with people working. 

I'm not sure if they have the capability to dim the lights, but they should be able to.

Change my view.

The point of cop flashers is for people coming to slow down. There could be a wreck where both sets of headlights were broken, or where there are not easily visable hazards (black car parts at night most usually) so cops need to be able to have their lights seen far and potentially over nearby hills at night. You aren't supposed to be passing a cop with flashers above 30 mph in most states anyway, so the need to slow down is kinda purposeful because if you're zooming by a cop and hit a car that lost its lights, well now it's just a bigger wreak than they were called out for in the first place. Pulling people over the lights brightness just means that there is no denying that you know when a cop is pulling you over even if you have your radio so loud you can't hear sirens. It's functional for what it's supposed to do, and that just so happens to be grabbing everyone's attention with an annoyance.
