Cop: Hey, c'mere u just ran a red light, I'm giving you a ticket
Me: *pedals faster, possibly making a turn up the wrong way on a one-way street*
Cop: damnit
(Not that I would ever be so brazen as to attempt such things...or would I?....or have I????)
These cops aren't messing around. They'll ask for ID and if you don't produce it, they can detain you until they confirm your identity. Pull that stunt on a Friday evening and you could spend the entire weekend in the system. Tickets can run as high as $330, which someone pointed out, is more than some people earn in a week.
