Police pick on cyclist

If the report is true then the cyclist had working lights on his
bike, though they may have been dim.
There is presumably some threshold of dimness below which a light
becomes illegal. Or perhaps there isn't - lighting regulations for
bikes have historically been a bit daft (c.f. illegal LEDs until a few
years ago) and it would not surprise me too much to learn that it's
technically ok to cycle around with dead light batteries.
If I shone my front light into the face of a police officer who'd
stopped me then I'd probably get done for assaulting a police officer
....
