I'm not going to argue whether or not what he did was wrong. But it does seem like an excessive punishment for a bicycle running a red light. I don't know about the laws in other states, but in Florida if a car is caught running a red light it is treated as a non-speeding moving violation. Such a violation is a $45 ticket or at least it used to be, I think now it's a $90. It seems to me like (although probably not this individual officers fault) the punishment is not fitting of the crime and a bicycle running a red light should have an equal if not lesser punishment than a car committing the same offence.
