The officer, who allegedly spoke to the cyclist in a “discourteous manner” after the close pass, “received a temporary reduction in pay”, according to police records

An investigation later found the police officer to be in “neglect of duty” for not responding to complaints of other drivers also running red lights, but the finding was quashed by the Chief Superintendent as “disproportionate”
