Although I suppose it could turn into another form of cyclist harassment, a la those "exiting the bike lane" charges that we've all heard stories about.
a messenger friend of mine, who many years ago, used to work in boston told me stories of how cops would set up roadblocks on frequent messenger routes to ticket them for no helmets and stuff... so i guess it is possible...
