Typical cop attitude toward cyclists, IMHE.

I'm a *cyclist* and that's my attitude.

*most* cyclists (not pointing fingers at anyone here, mind you) are more
reckless, careless, and just plain scofflaws than any other road users,
and that's saying a lot, as **** poor as the average driver is.

I'm guessing the drivers are much better where you are than where I
am. Here it's open season on cyclists.

But, more to the point, cops are supposed to be unbiased observers
enforcing the laws without prejudice, not haters with a mission to
harass and abuse.

Well... IME *some* traffic cops are decent people and *some* are just
out to write violations. *It's never safe to assume that you have a

Yeah, some are decent, but somehow they are put out there to make
quick money, and the way to do it is get together a bunch of them with
speed guns and write speeding tickets galore.
