I was stopped in an asl with another dude on a bike. Light goes green and I make a move to head off. As I do so, the other dude says something like 'coppers behind us mate'. True enough, there is a police van behind us. I am suddenly racked with doubt and confusion, look again at the light, which I am sure is green, and say 'but, but, the light is green?'. Eventually, we both go on our way.
I have also been busted for 30squid for going through a light. Copper jumps out into the road and does the whole shouting-stop-with-arm-in-the-air-palm-towards-you thing. He was very nice about it, but the process for paying the ticket is something ridiculous like leaving your bank details on an answerphone.
