Or these people called policemen who will be overjoyed that you are making their boring night shift more interesting, not to mention rewarding. I only got ticketed by police twice in my entire life, and one of those times was when I ignored a red light (on a bicycle!) in the late evening at a big but completely deserted intersection. Then I learned that in Germany cyclists have to pay the same fine as motorists (100 € + processing fee + 1 "penalty point" on your driver's license if you have one, even if you're not driving a car), while pedestrians only pay 10 €.
