When scofflaw cyclists can be identified and reported to the police, they will be fined. If they repeat the offense, they will be fined some more. And so on. Of course some will lie and say someone else had borrowed their bike - what else would you expect from someone who habitually runs red lights?

Perhaps eventually they will get the idea that RUNNING RED LIGHTS SHOULD NOT BE TOLERATED. No pathetic excuses about how safely this can be done - go tell it to the judge.

I will say this here now: if cyclists in north San Diego were required to have a visible plate of some kind I'd probably have made a phone call or two to the cops already. As it is I'm thinking of taking some video at a particular bad intersection (very frequent violations). The point there would be to have hard evidence for the police that there's a problem that they need to deal with more aggressively. I have no idea whether they know that already, I might look into it first - but the data would still be interesting to have. Story for the local paper perhaps? I know a bit about collecting and analyzing data.

Those idiots get no quarter from me. And there's a few of them proudly posting on this forum.
