Good luck with that.
No, it means the law is wrong. Are you suggesting that all laws are always right and just?

I like the post somewhere above about not seeing a cop means not being situationally aware enough to run a light. That was well put.
There's a red light in front of a police precinct HQ in Harlem that is routinely run by nearly every cyclist who goes through this intersection and nobody is ever ticketed. The cops are no fools, they know that it's often more practical and safer, yes safer for cyclists to run red lights.
