Is bikeamici.org a radical anti-cop organization?

No. We recognize that police officers have an important role to play in enforcing traffic violations. It would be nice if they would ticket motorists who drive into bicyclists. The recent Summit avenue case comes to mind: I believe the motorist was driving an SUV and suddenly made a right hand turn, right into an experienced bicycle commuter in a bicycle lane wearing lights. Was the motorist charged? I hope so, but I read elsewhere that there was no charge.
