Should we now remove our plate stickers to be safe?

Flashing front bicycle light on Motorcycle

I did a lot of googling on this and cannot find anything. I want to avoid a ticket. Recently I noticed how visible a bicyclist was during the day with his flashing white light operating. He was coming towards me from at least 200 yards and really stood out. So I thought, why not add this to my motorcycle. It would really help when approaching intersections these days. Yes, I know there are modulators, and it seems that in recent years there are reports of some OPP ticketing them for improper lighting.
