Cyclist Launches Class Action Suit For Bogus NYPD Red Light Tickets - Streetsblog New York City
Briefly

A class action lawsuit has been filed against the NYPD for unlawfully ticketing cyclists for using pedestrian signals legally. The lawsuit centers on the Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI) law, which allows cyclists to proceed with an advanced walk sign. It seeks to compel the NYPD to train officers on these laws and track future summonses. The plaintiffs demand damages for those wrongly ticketed as part of the ongoing issue of cyclist rights and police enforcement in New York City.
This action seeks to ensure the NYPD finally follows the law as it has been written for years, and stops unlawfully detaining and prosecuting cyclists when they've done nothing wrong.
The class action lawsuit aims to force NYPD personnel to adhere to the law by providing clear guidance and training on the Leading Pedestrian Interval.
