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

just my area, but I doubt it. *But that's also a rant more appropriate

I see some of them around here sitting in their cars all day long. You
may argue they are WASTING TAX PAYER'S MONEY, but basically they don't
bother anyone. At most they go at the end of the day to the roads and
issue some speeding tickets.

It could be worse...
