You may be right in that assumption. Perhaps this is being enforced because upset citizens complained to the city..
However,
This happens ALL the time with vehicles.
- Cars speeding through a neighborhood for instance. Several residents call and complain. The police stick a traffic officer there and several tickets are written. Is this harassment of the motorist? No.. Was the enforcement action taken based on complaints? Yes
- Cars failing to slow down in a school zone. Several parents complain. The police stick a traffic officer there and several speeding tickets are written. Is this harassment of the motorist? No.. Was the action taken based on complaints? Yes
- Cars failing to stop at a stop sign downtown. Business owners complain to the City. An officer is sent and several tickets are written. Is this harassment of the motorist? No.. Was the action taken based on complaints? Yes
I can go on and on and on but you get the point...
At any rate, I digress as it's time for my bike ride!
