That's not a patent. It's a patent application.

See here:

If you search the PTO database for Frank G. Pringle, you will see he has no such patent:

Also see here:

The biggest difference between a patent application and a patent is that an application has not been evaluated on any level, not just for patentability but for basic operability. So an application can be very sound, well written and definitely on its way to a patent, or it can be a completely inoperable, back-of-the-napkin mess that will never become patent.

And it's probably a good thing too... did you notice the date?

Didn't Pringle leave LIBE in October 2014? So he bails out just before all his notes become due and leaves shareholders (and Brian) in the crapper, and then turns around and tries to file a patent for, essentially, the GuardLite?

I wouldn't worry about it though, that application is hopelessly overbroad and there's no way it would be enforceable. He is basically claiming patent rights to anything with a pole that has a light, a camera, and some kind of power source mounted to it.
