Police spotting (junction watch)

Going back to the RLJ trap (amusing though the rest of this thread is) City of London police have been at the junction of Beech St, the tunnel under the Barbican, and Goswell Rd. Last night and again this morning. Saw a cyclist getting a ticket, told cop that maybe she should have a word with the taxi driver and motorcyclist sitting in the ASL at the lights with me... and she did. (fair cop, haha) I wouldn't mind them doing this if I thought they were monitoring all road users there, rather than just targeting cyclists.

City cops are supposed to be targeting all poor road use http://www.cityoflondon.police.uk/CityPolice/SaferCityWards/YourCityWard/clusters/north.htm#north as opposed to just cyclists, thanks to the City Cyclists going to community meetings http://www.lcc.org.uk/index.asp?PageID=536 Worth going to these as the people who tend to go and thus set targets are those with too much free time who think all cyclists are Al Qaeda or something.

yup, that's probably what pisses me off the most. like, cyclists are always in the wrong: drivers are right to stop in the green box or drive agressively, peds are right to cross without looking or in red light. i dont mind following the rules, but everyone else has to play the game too.

To be fair I've seen them having words with motorists in the ASL. Am I wrong to think that the penalty for motorists is the same as crossing a red signal without good reason ie £60 and three points? If I'm right, that might seem pretty harsh to a lot of police, so they'd rather go for words of advice.

Re peds perhaps it makes sense to make more allowance for them at places like that junction, where there's bus stops and a tube station, so they're rushing for the train or whatever?

cheers
