Has anyone ever attempted this or more importantly been successful at it? I was stopped last week a couple of blocks from work for an "improper left turn", or in other words not turning into the lane closest to the center of the street. This was in Topeka going from the I470 off ramp East onto Huntoon. The cop asked if there was a reason why I had "swung out so wide" to make the turn and I was like Umm, what? Where? So I explained to him I got in the right lane because that's the lane I needed to be in order to get to my office. This is an absolutely pud and meaningless thing to be given a ticket for. Maybe he was mad at the world for having to ride a motorcycle on a freezing cold morning or something.
Furthermore this is simply a cash grab. The very next day I was sitting at the same light and I looked over and saw the same motorcycle cop had pulled a car over in the same spot, presumably for the same reason. Also during the course of my recent bitching about this a coworker said his neighbor got a ticket for the same thing. Hey motorcycle cop guy instead of generating revenue how about if you try and be on the lookout for some actual crime, or better yet try and get some leads on that quadruple murder from last year.
