These seem like pretty absurd obstacles. Police in various places have historically been pretty notorious for zealously ticketing other offenses--I can't see anything special about these bike lane offenders. Of course, following BLM there has been a lot of pressure on police to avoid any "unnecessary" policing (lots of studies confirm that police have been pulled back all over the country as a direct consequence of BLM-related pressure), so maybe that would affect things as of the last 5ish years?
