[*BCM*] Just got "pulled over" for running a red on Mass. Ave.

I had the text of Hiibel in front of me as I wrote up the summary, but of course that does not mean that I did not misstate something.  At the end of my summary I raised the question whether this was a "Terry" stop.  Thanks for finding the statute, though, because it seems to me that statute attempts to apply Terry/Hiibel principles to a traffic infraction with an officer directly observes.  Someone wants to go to jail over this and take it up the Roberts court, go for it.

I will observe that the person who started this thread has not answered the question that to me matters most: were there pedestrians present? if so, the guy did something wrong even if there were no ordinance forbidding it.  We sit here and talk about vulnerable users of the roadways and someone wants to roll through a crosswalk when there are pedestrians present? (claiming he presented no danger, but that is not his call to make).
