Mate, coppers gave up fining people for that years ago.
that does depend on the situation, although generally they do ignore it.
we were having a picnic with the kids in the parklands near the north adelaide bowling club one sunday. i just happened to see a guy on a pushie waiting to turn right into rundle street from dequettiville terrace with no helmet on. a patrol car happened to pull up next to him, and i assume told him to get off and walk it (i wasnt close enough to hear, but could see that the officer said something)
i found it quite amusing when the cyclist gave a big single finger salute to the officer, and proceeded to run the red light on his bike! dont know what he was thinking but he definitely got pulled up and fined in very short order! it definately made us all laugh.
