I gave a cop crap (politely) for parking with no lights on in a bike lane to clock speeders once. I was getting squeezed into pretty busy traffic. His response, just shoulder shrug. Not even a verbal response. I filed a complaint, knowing I'd never hear anything and nobody would do anything.
He could have had a better hiding spot anyway sitting at the t-jn of the neighborhood street 25 feet away. Go figure.
