most states have a statute that specifically shields cops against liability for instances where they don’t enforce the law. this allows them to let certain people off.
however, the cyclist can still sue for injury. just the insurance co will use the cop’s lack of issuing a ticket against them in court.

Against the cop or against the injured who is suing for injury?
against the injured, of course.
Of course. Why did I even ask. Of course it would be the evil version.
yeah, it is a stock play for court: “if the cop didn’t issue a ticket, nothing wrong happened.” you have to have a response, but then, jurors.
I hate that this is our perception of the world now, just assume the greedy evil version cuz it’s probably that :[
Well my experience of the unfairness of this world sure does reinforce my pessimism in many cases.
