    Police officers don’t need to know the laws unfortunately. And depending on how much melanin you have determines if you should explain or if youre better off just saying “yes sir can I go”.

      A friend cycling in London was stopped for turning right at a “no right turns except cyclists” junction - police didn’t even want to go read the sign that they were told to enforce!

      Shouldn’t a doctor know about the human body, a plumber about plumbs or the law enforcement about law?
