The officer in your club has no legal precedent or merit to visit anyone’s residence based on your video. In fact he can be disciplined for using department resources in an inappropriate manner. To further the actions if enough people complain he can be reprimanded for harassment. There are as many aggressive cyclists here as drivers. Everyone feels they own the road. The cycle club acts as though everyone on the road should give way to their membership, when in fact some in their ranks are much more aggressive that the drivers.
