I truly wish it were that way here. I have called for various issues on the bike, got lightly "struck" by a mirror in front OF a cop, and even called to report having a gun brandished at me. These events happened in three different county/cities and basically got brushed off each time. A good friend of mine got assaulted by an off duty cop while on bike, almost run over by his truck WITH video proof and got brushed off.
Where riding in GA (wasn't) nearly as dangerous recently than it has been in the past cyclists are still not a high priority to the law. Unfortunately the teeth of the 'drive and text' law, or it's application, have not been strong enough to deter the roads looking like a bunch of drunk people riding around. I don't ride on many surface streets any more.
