I got pulled over for being in the middle of an intersection when the light turned red. I saw only a few milliseconds of the yellow light because I was behind a big UPS truck. This happens to people all the time, and I'm surprised I got a ticket for this. Any chance of fighting this successfully? [more inside]

A motorcycle cop turned on the flashing lights and started weaving back and forth between cars on the highway. The passes kept getting wider, gradually prompting everyone to clear out of all 4 lanes and hang back about 1/4 mile behind him. Then he continued these sweeping 'S' maneuvers across the lanes for miles. By the time I had to exit, prevailing speed had dropped from 75 to 40. What was he doing, and why?

If they're not handling accidents, what do highway patrol officers and cops do when there's a traffic jam? I never see them on the road. Are they abandoning their posts? [more inside]
