That's actually a good example of what to do with flash at the top like that. It serves a purpose: presenting the portfolio of the designer. The traffic cop site's flash topper doesn't serve any purpose that I can glean. The menu is less than 1/4 of the whole; that 'swoosh' curve under the police car takes up too much space for my liking, and cropping it to just under that would reduce the height and give back almost 30% of it's space.
Of course, I'm not a designer, nor have I ever been accused of being trendy, so that's probably why I don't like the style.
