Be prepared to provide the state traffic code numbers to them when you file a complaint.
I keep a copy to the relevant codes in my wallet.
Also there may be relevant municipal codes. e.g. Boulder has a code prohibiting a motor vehicle from driving in a restricted lane, such as a bike lane.
Very true. I have come across quite a few errant officers.
Every time a new change in the traffic law occurs. Officers should be told to brush up on the change.
