So I was pretty sure the light was yellow but the bicycle officer on the other side thinks it was red. Anyway I guess he turned to run me down but quickly realized he could not catch me. I honestly did not know he was chasing me. He had to call for a cruiser to intercept me. The cruiser pulled me over a few miles down the road and asked me to wait for the other officer to catch up. When the bike officer caught up with me he was angry as hell. He told me my Moped had to have a plate and he was going to charge me with evading the police and running a red light.
I had to take about 15 minutes to show him the bike including letting him peddle it so he understood it was not a moped. As for the evading I told him at 28mph I had no idea he was behind me as I am constantly looking forward due to my speed.
In the end he wrote me a ticket for failure to obey a traffic control device and then told me they needed to upgrade their police bikes to Stromers. I offered to bring my down to the station so they could all see it and ride it. I wonder if Stromer has a police officer version with blue lights and such.
