The Idaho stop legislates what all cyclists already do safely. Without it, cops can use minor cycling violations to conduct racially biased pretext stops (biking while Black) and reach their quotas. In NYC, the fine for biking and driving through a red light is the same: $190.
Indigeneity is often erased in the immigrant narrative of the US. Displaced Indigenous migrant communities in the United States have historically been undercounted in the Census due to many being classified under Hispanic/Latino. This is a problem for communities whose first or most used language is not Spanish or English, but Zapotec, Chinantec, K’iché or any of the various Indigenous languages that can be heard in the streets of Los Angeles and across the country.
