I had one woman in MB SUV run a red light in front of me, and when I
honked while getting everything out of the 4 wheel drums of my '73 ford,
stopped, blocked my path and flipped me off with BOTH hands. She then
called the cops me because I wouldn't give in to her, but tried to get
around her massive vehicle. She dropped it when the cop told her she
would get a ticket for running the red.

Of course. And they get angry at those who won't enable them.

I've seen police ticket people who used a R.turn only lane for passing.

When they aren't doing it themselves and it's a really slow night I suppose.

The society is overwhelming set up in favor of those who are aggressive
etc. It's furthered by teaching people to be affraid and as you say, the
judges and juries.

However I think correction has to start somewhere. That said, I usually
find it's drivers of more expensive vehicles that tend to do this sort of
thing. Very rarely is it some beater car, and in that case I would have
to guess it's someone who has multiple vehicles.

About a month ago I was driving my beater car when some idiot in a brand
new audi decided to try and force his way in front of me taking a posture
that indicated he was going to hit me if I didn't make way for him. My
$500 beater car vs. his new audi. So I held my legal spot in traffic and
waited to see if he would go ahead and hit my car. (trying to avoid him
would have put me in greater danger, a collision that could injure me or
others, him hitting me would have bent some sheetmetal at worst.) Of
course he backed off.
