It's not the cops I'd be worried about, but rather the defense attorney in civil court. If I'm trying to recover damages after their distracted client failed to notice my 100 lumen tail light or 500 lumen head light, that attorney may argue contributory negligence if my bike didn't have the legally required pedal reflectors, front and rear side reflectors (which can be spoke reflectors), or the white front and red rear reflectors.
