I have gotten a written warning for going through a stop sign in San Diago
in 1980. In addition, while I was living in Newport, RI, there was a  
effort to control the ammount of reckless bicycling by certain members
of the community and this included tickets and fines. The tickets, I
believe, were handled the same as a jay-walking ticket where where is
no need for a vehicle type. The only difference was that they earmarked
the fine money for some some community use such as school sports programs
or the local YMCA or something simmler.
