Oh goody. So if I can get a single police constable to (supposedly) tell me just once that going through red lights is always OK, that gives me permission to do it any time, any place from then on? Even if I have no proof that said constable ever said any such thing?

I guess you probably think that that should apply...but only to cyclists and not to scum-of-the-Earth motorists of course. (If a motorist did it then would you report him for kiddie-fiddling?)
