Bike Lanes - safe at all times?

Police Officers are generally a nice bunch of folks but this particular one from NYC is one of a kind. He booked this cyclist for not riding in a bike lane although bike lanes at times are blocked with parked vehicles etc.

As a cyclist, I think its important we use our brains and not follow the law blindly. Doing so may cause injury and even death...

Thanks Matt for pointing me to this very informative video. The guy who is making his point is truly a great entertaining stuntman. Does he conduct classes on how to fall off our bikes?
