Pennsylvania police lights are exclusively to be red and blue. White is optional. Possibly you saw a car with faulty lights. An agency that installs only blue runs the risk of being mistaken for volunteer firefighters, which they wouldn't do for liability reasons. With the advent of LED lights, it's becoming a shitshow, varying quality, color, intensity, placement on vehicle, etc., plus every plow jockey and construction foreman has them installed. Police tend to reuse light systems on newer vehicles to save money, possibly this could explain it? Couldn't replace red obsolete bulbs or something? Might want to call and ask that department.

You should do both as soon as is reasonably within your ability. Neither is heavily enforced, but you don't want to be the guy who moved here a year ago, now has expired license and registration, and is hitting snags getting them changed over. Getting a license should be simple, as long as your prior state license is valid. Believe you can provide two proofs of residency and the old license at a driver center. The registration may be tougher, if you don't have an actual title for your vehicle (lien?). Any notary service that is an issuing agent for penndot can help with this, such as a AAA branch. If you have the title, it's much easier and a bit cheaper. Again, few officers are going to cite you if your prior state credentials are still valid and you explain you recently moved, whether it's 21 or 61 days ago.

You're on private property of which you are a tenant. No criminal loitering or trespassing charge could be upheld. The landlord may be able to take civil action, depending on lease. Note, your behavior would be annoying and disconcerting to me as a fellow tenant. Don't want a bunch of people hanging out around my cars, no matter the purpose.

I'll chime in with others, whether or not the seller knew, you paid for a home inspection, apparently with a specific clause for termites and their damage? This shouldn't be something that can be covered up in the eyes of a competent inspector. Especially if the inspector was recommended by a real estate agent, rather than hired by you, they should be held fully responsible. These people will gloss over faults in order to get repeat business from the agents. The fact they already paid for remediation is telling.

TBF, every large, homogeneous organization will have its share of fringe types. Seeing the military leans right in general, it's amazing there aren't more like him. Once you get to the higher ranks, the military is very political. The rank he he attained is quite high, but it's telling that he was assigned to school rather than command. No doubt he received the rank and assignment based on his dubious PhD.

This guy knows. It's very frustrating to see people repeatedly "stabilized" at hospitals through emergency mental health commitments, then released to follow up on their own medication/treatment plans. Eventually, they do end up as inmates in a system that isn't set up for treatment. When you throw a problem at the police, don't act surprised when they make arrests as their only viable solution, which it often is.
