*THIS WAS NOT DURING A CRITICAL MASS RIDE*
I was making a left-hand turn going down Broadway (one-way street) onto 56th St (one-way street). I waited for the pedestrians to begin crossing over and made my turn behind them. I saw a car coming behind me so I moved to the left to get out of its way. It pulled very close next to me and that's when I saw it was a police SUV with a guy eating his lunch. He said pull over and asked for my license.

Overall, I feel very discriminated against. I wonder (and asked) if I was getting stopped because I am an average, young, caucasian and fairly obviously English-speaking woman. How many delivery people get stopped? How many times have I seen CARS going through intersections, blocking the box, standing in bike lanes, really putting people in danger. It's not as if I was maniacle and speeding through lights; I made a close turn behind pedestrians and this cop tells me I cut him off?! I specifically made my turn then went to the side of the street to not be in his way!

PS- he even asked me for the make of my bike! To which I told him I don't have a registration or license plate for it that maybe he wanted to give me a ticket for that too.
