I understand the need for uniform enforcement of laws, but I also acknowledge they exist to protect the rights of others. The bicyclist in your video ran the stop, but he could probably see nobody was coming from all directions. Further, he is not putting others safety in extreme risk if he were to cause a collision.

If you wanted to slap that guy, you would probably want to hang this guy by his toes...
