What are they going to tell me? They are going to quote a law that I am 
perfectly aware of. Bikers ride on streets with local jurisdiction 
outside that of the DPS. Is the DPS gonna tell me how the courts 
interpret law? Is the DPS going to tell me about successful defenses in 
bike law.

I am not talking about civil law you dunderhead. I'm not sure you are 
aware of this but you get tried in a court of law and not in a DPS office.
Fucked or not they consistently held a position contrary to yours thank god.

They aren't in Vernon's as far as I know you butthead. Vernon's is so 
incomplete on any particular subject I doubt it be worth the trouble. 
There are hundreds of cases. They are compiled by other bikers and lawyers 
who specialize in bike law. Yes. There are lawyers who do that.

: drive down the wrong way on the street deliberately?

I have seen it before but rarely. I stop the people and tell them that 
their behaviour is unsafe and illegal. Do you do this? No, You just bitch 
about it and dream up ficticious laws.

: Seems like I am not the one doing the true dreaming.

You are a fool. You don't have a CLUE as to anything about bike law. You 
see a few people riding the wrong way (and even the truth of this is in 
doubt given  your vivid imagination) down the street so you dream up laws 
involving walking bicycles across the street. You are one of those guys 
who gets a ticket for almost running a biker down and then says "well why 
doesn't he ride on the sidewalk. Its illegal for him to ride in the street."

Some of us have actually done far more than something as trivial as read 
Vernon's. How pedestrian...

In fact I'll go look up some case names... HA!
