     Those who do that get what they deserve.

      One time a few years ago I ran into a retired federal judge I know.   
      We were both riding our bikes and at one intersection, he rolled through   
   a stop sign.   
      I pointed this out to him and joked I was going to have to cite him.  (I   
   was still working in parking at the time).  He joked back I had no authority   
   on a city street.  I replied I know have fiends in the city (police   
   department).  He said he knew people w

     There is one street here, about two over from a major street that I use.    
   Going to the store it has five red lights (three in a row) whereas the major   
   street has nine in the same distance.  I sometimes use that street rather   
   than the major one, which I live   
      In this town the lights are set up so you go a block and stop.  Go a   
   block and stop.  Go a block and stop.  No matter if in a car or on bike.

     This is usually at intersections with no on-coming traffic, IE no one on   
   the other side of intersection is turning.
