I've never seen a cop pull over a cyclist other than the ones dealing drugs, or homeless pulling a kiddie trailer full of their junk.
I've been pulled over for blowing a stop sign on my bike.

I'm all for the law change and wish they would do it here. I've have several spots where the lights go off sensors. I've sat there as much as 10 minutes waiting for a car to come to trip the sensor when I could easily have made it across while red. The way the law is suppose to work is the lights and signs are treated just like normal when there is traffic around just because a light is red does not mean you can blow through it regardless of traffic. I do wish there was a way for more education among the rider and non riders alike. There are lots more people picking up bikes that have no idea of any kind of legal requirements or laws that are in place for bike riding.
