that guy is just unlucky to get caught so many times. It is just like jwalking or speeding. The city needs to say it is illegal because it is the "right thing".

Common sense is a big issue too....dont blow lights when you see traffic cops. Simple. I live in nyc and ride everyday and probably run atleast a hundred lights a week (by run, I mean a rolling stop). But I'll never do it if a cop is visible.
