I started watching the habits of bike cops some time ago and to this day I have yet to see one actually stop at a stop sign when the coast was clear to proceed.
From what I understand these fines are moderately easy to beat - I picked up a $187 fine for running a red last year and a law student friend of mine is trying to help me beat it so I'll test her theory when my court date comes up.
The funny thing is when the cops try to tell you that they can take points of your license for running reds / stops on your bike. You'd figure that the ones to lay down the law would know a thing or two about it... but apparently not.
