I don't run reds because I know a cop will be there. The few times I have, fuzzy john was sitting in the bushes waiting for his cruller and double double to go down. And I've gotten off by looking contrite and being polite.
Stop signs on the other hand, I generally always will roll through, just like a real vehicle
To quote gumby on CL "I told him that and made him feel stupid..so then he looked at my bike and said ur getting another ticket for not having a bell." He didn't get a ticket for the bell, he got a ticket for opening his yap and the bell was conveniently absent. Anyone who just fell off the turnip truck will tell you beak + toronto's finest=bad outcome. He should have informed him that he also paid his salary.... that woulda learned him. Jeez.... I'm sure his fine attitude had nothing to do with the first ticket he got either.
