Sessum isn't the worst cop in Portland, but he is a cyclist-hater. I got my last Critical Mass ticket from him, and my lawyer worked out a deal for me - I had to write an essay to get out of my ticket. The title of my essay was something like 'Why Critical Mass is Good for Portland'.
These days Sessum and the rest of the motorcycle cops - who were taken off Critical Mass detail by the new mayor in Feb 05 - spend their Wednesday mornings performing 'stings' on bicycle commuters - $242 fines for rolling stop signs at 2 mpg.
