eh, in sf, you get a ticket for killing cyclists. Sometimes not even that. It's really not a big deal. So it isn't as if the cop got a special deal.

   "We do not know of a single case of a cyclist fatality in which the driver 
   was prosecuted, except for D.U.I. or hit-and-run," Leah Shahum, the 
   executive director of the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, told me. [1]

Do people get prosecuted anywhere for fatal traffic accidents, except when they are severely breaking the law?

In NL if you hit a cyclist as a motor vehicle driver you're in deep trouble.
