I think you're getting some legal terms mixed up. At any rate, committing a victimless crime is not an indication of a sense of entitlement. If I simply blew through intersections without regard for who actually has the right of way, claiming it should be mine because I'm on a bike,
that would indicate a sense of entitlement. If I gruffly ordered others around because I felt they were in my way,
that would indicate a sense of entitlement.

I'm quite honest about it. In fact, I ride the same way in the presence of law enforcement as I do otherwise. They seem to be able to differentiate between safely proceeding through a red light or stop sign and blowing through intersections without regard for other road users.
