wow stumps, that was a bit of a circus! Congrats anyway!
In Germany the state is much better than we are about equal enforcement of traffic laws. Peds will be ticketed for crossing against their signal, cyclists for violating all traffic laws, cars for the doing the same. They have the autobahn and far fewer cyclists killed on their highways (as a proportion) than we do.
Hey Kimbercop, keep up the good work--you are doing your job! (I learned this lesson myself, I luckily got off the hook, except I would have paid a much higher price than any cop issuing a ticket could levy.)
