Lawsuit asks judge to issue injunction against NYPD and ensure damages paid to ticketed cyclists, as rider accuses police of ignoring law that enables cyclists to 'go with the walk' and ride through like pedestrians
The first court date was him appearing as he had been summoned by the ticket. THAT case was thrown out (he was found to have not broken a law)
He is now starting a class action lawsuit so that other cyclists affected can get some financial compensation as they were wrongfully fined. Many could have just paid the fine and not realized the ticket was incorrect.
If he had lost (the fine was found to be correct) and then decided to start a class action lawsuit anyway the lawsuit would almost immediately be dismissed
The wording is a bit annoying.

If this is the case, it’s not annoying but straight out misleading
I was being nice.
For myself and I suspect others from the US it was very clear.
