So, at one crossing where cars have right of way, I am waved on by a Sherriff's car that comes to a halt for no reason -- do I dare refuse to obey a police order to cross (real, not made up)?
Oh that happened to me yesterday. I was dismounted and waiting at a crosswalk at an intersection. Walk light was red. Light traffic on the roads. A police car came up behind me and was making a free right turn over my crosswalk. He stopped at the corner and waved me across. Uhh THE WALK SIGN WAS RED and the cross street light was green. He waited for me a bit then accelerated angrily. I don't know what he was thinking.
