The report states he was stopped for not showing *any* lights,

The report reports the claims of the police. That does not prove
that he was not showing *any* lights. It may be that the police
simply failed to spot the lights amongst the general array of lights
on the road, it may be that the police were unable to see them as
the police were not in the right position (for example looking from
the side),

If the police failed to spot his lights amongst the general array of
lights, then Mr Cimini needs to think if he needs more/better lights on
his bike. Some of the LED lights I see are very dim against a background
of other lights, which is why I am a big flashing lights.



"Officers told the 30-year-old they had spotted him cycling along the
busy Tollcross Street without any lights on..."

Read on to the next bit after the three dots, "But Mr Cimini
challenged this, claiming he had left his flat with both lights
working".

That is the odd thing, if he did have working lights, then the police
should have just let him get on his way.
