Sounds like a scam to me. Don't buy it that the cops are the do gooders in this. A cyclist doesn't pose a risk to society by running a stop sign a low speeds, unlike cagers in their 3500# vehicles. The cop isn't out to protect and serve, he's holding hands with the safety nannies out there and padding his cities coffins. BS in my book, and someone needs to show me the data that supports the cop in his sworn duty to protect and serve. What is he protecting? How many people have been killed because a cyclist went through a stop sign at very low speeds? Specifically, how many people besides the cyclist who goes through said stop sign have been killed or even hurt?

I'm a fan of the police, but these tickets are not in the publics best interest. I'd fight it if I got one.
