That's pretty much as extreme as you can get. There's got to be a happy medium somewhere. Here in Chicago, I'd like to see *any* evidence of enforcement of bike laws. A good start would be people riding the wrong way on one-way streets or blasting through red lights.
Of course, it would also be nice to see some action on cars parked in or driving down bike lanes, and other unsafe and illegal practices.
I'm not holding my breath. At least no one is snatching my bike while I'm riding it!

Occasionally I will ride through red lights. I know the ones that do not trip for bicycles and I don't even stop if it is clear. I have no intentions of waiting two or three cycles until a motor vehicle shows up going my way to cause a signal change.
