I got pulled over with siren and lights in St Louis County while commuting to work. I was riding on a frontage road that had a nice downhill ramp onto a state highway (not freeway). The cop had somebody pulled over on the shoulder of the ramp and I blew by pretty fast, for a bike, and must have surprised him. Shortly thereafter I heard the siren and pulled over expecting him to go by but he was pulling me over!? He claimed it was illegal for me to be on that ramp (I can’t remember, it may have been shared with a ramp off the freeway) which was nonsense - I rode it every day. Anyway, he did not cite me.
