blue lights
Police car feature
Blue lights typically refers to the flashing lights on emergency vehicles—police cars, ambulances, fire trucks.
In American usage, blue lights in the rearview mirror usually means law enforcement is pulling you over.
The phrase can metonymically mean police presence itself: The party scattered when blue lights showed up.
