I wouldn't call that unenforceable. When I was a reserve deputy riding with a regular deputy one night, we passed a car which didn't dim their lights, turned around and pulled it over, lo and behold the driver had outstanding warrants. I think he even got a ticket for failure to dim as well.
Tonight on my way home from work I saw guy riding a Walmart bike against traffic ...AND...with a white flasher on the front of his bike ( no rear reflector or rear light ). If I'm a cop do you think I'm going to waste my time telling this guy he's riding the bike the wrong way. Nope, if I'm a cop I'm just glad he's using a front flasher because then hopefully no one will run into him.
Depends on if the cop is bored and just looking to check the guy out for drugs, warrants, or whatever. Or the cop might want to warn him about riding the wrong way in traffic and how important it is to have a rear red reflector or taillight, depending on the law and how familiar the cop is with bicycle laws.
Or, if the cop has better things to do (like take a 10-100), he might ignore it like this:
