Bikes: '85 Full Cycle Cycle.

I was pulled over for running a red light at a 3-way intersection at 12:30am. I was riding in the right-hand lane on the top part of the T, so any cars that were going to hit me were either running the light themselves or going through the store window immediately afterwards. I had lights on the front and back and was wearing a white coat, riding a white bike. He built it up and threatened me with 180$ ticket and 3 demerit points and then dropped it to a 35$ by-law infraction.
The best part was that a week later the same cop almost ran me over. I was getting on my bike on the sidewalk of a very busy street and he was coming out of a parking lot, creeping forward with his head turned to the right. He jerked to a stop two feet from me. I got on the road and he caught up to me two blocks later and yelled at me that if he had hit me, it would have been my fault.
