Today, when cycling, I came to a vehicle-activated set of lights which was on red. It didn't detect me on my bike and so stayed red, for a good 3 minutes, until a car came up behind me and activated the lights and they mercifully went green at last.

According to one of the more knowledgeable and respected posters in this group, I was unlawfully detained by the council for that 3 minutes. How do I go about reporting this very serious crime? Presumably the person who falsely detained me can expect jail (a taste of his/her own medicine), and I will be in line for compensation?

When I think about what I could have done with that wasted 3 minutes of my life, and what a changed man I was when I emerged from the dank, hellish prison which was my adopted home for all that time, I firmly believe that I will never be the same again after that horrific, nightmarish and neverending experience (which I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy). Please, denizens of URC, help me, a poor, persecuted cyclist, the likes of whom is regularly discussed and sympathised with in this newsgroup, obtain adequate redress for the wicked and terrible injustice which has been so callously inflicted upon me.
