Sometimes I feel like I'm banging my head against a wall. It's nice to know some folks appreciate my efforts. My hope is that every police department I encounter that doesn't understand the law or enforce it fairly, can be educated and can become an ally in the fight for safer roads for all, including bikes. I've gotten city attorneys involved and that seems to help on occasion, if not there are always mayors and police commissions to contact. Thanks again for the write-up.

Recently, a friend of mine was pushed off the road by a paddywagon (is this not PC? anyways, a police vehicle for transporting several people) in Boston. Good on Jeff for taking to the streets armed with a video camera. Of course police abuse the law, especially when it comes to folks who don’t have as much of a political voice.
