side of roadway must ride on left and right sides of one way street 
Place of Occurence
3rd Ave. and 23rd St. 
Description

As a group of us headed north on 3rd Ave, a group of cops on scooters blocked the avenue. They came and grabbed those of us at the head of the group, and proceeded to write tickets for whatever they could, and if they didn't have any legitimate offense to ticket you for, they made one up. Officers were referring to sheets of paper listing the offenses they could ticket cyclists for.

What a waste of police and city resources.
