Well, as a person who bikes and walks around here, I'm just fine

So you really don't care whether or not someone was driving
unsafely or even breaking the law or not, you just want to stick it
to drivers.

Oh, please! First, I'm just saying that motorists should obey the
laws (even though I realize that's a radical idea in some circles).

But those enforcing the laws are exempt from them?

That's what we're talking about here - ILLEGAL ACTIONS on the part of
municipalities to raise revenue at the expense of motorists, by trapping
them into breaking the law. Sure, if a light immediately turns from
green to red with no yellow, and I cross the stop bar after the light
turns red because I have no hope of stopping, and the law says that that
is illegal, well, then I'm a criminal. But would you really say that I
was a bad person or scofflaw in that situation? Do I *deserve* a ticket
for that?

Or is this one of those four legs good two legs better kind of things?
