- uptown 12y agoUnderstood. But the premise of the article asks if the 5th Precinct plans to "start ticketing more cyclists". The tweet didn't say that. It said they'll be enforcing violations, which is what you expect police officers to do with laws that are on the books. You're right - maybe the stats are bad, and the post is right to ask for clarification. But the post assumes the tweet means they'll change their enforcement tactics, and I don't read that in this tweet.
