I'm not totally sure I understand the finer points of what I'm going to say;because, I'm not a laywer, but this is what seems important to me.
Cyclists are being targeted specifically in response to a death that was at the very least partialy the fault of of a negligent driver. At face value this sounds like punishing the victim.
While we do not know if they have stepped up their patrol or enforcement on automotive traffic violations. It doesn't seem that they have, but then again we really do not know. If not, then they are violating our Constitutional right to equal protection under the law.
If they allow a car to get away with the same infraction they ticket cyclists for than it is not equal protection or enforcement. Are drivers issued warning instead of tickets for the same violations? At court are the fines reduced for cyclist and drivers, or just for cyclists for these violations? I think some of those are the questions that should be asked.
Are there publicly accessible records available for this information?
