Now, law enforcement officers that fall into this category are problematic, to be sure. Not sure what to do about this one.
Educate the law officers and the motorists both. Especially the law officers!
Now granted you may not have problems with ignorant motorists, but then every cyclist is not Helmet Head are they... Some of us are bothered by ignorant motorists.
In fact, the very fact that you ignore them, just gives them subtle permission to do the same thing or bolder on the next cyclist, so in fact you are exacerbating the problem.
