now that this dead horse has successfully been beaten unmercifully, i think i will add my own .02 - for what it's worth:

nj state law on right on red: right on red is permitted where not prohibited by a sign that states "no right on red", and may be performed after coming to a complete stop, yielding to oncoming traffic and when it is safe to proceed (obviously not verbatim).

all you have to claim to someone complaining is that you didn't feel safe making the right on red. i can't believe a cop would make that big a deal about something as benign as this, but it takes all types.

as far as a cop pulling you over... as long as he has his emergency lights on, you should pull over. this brings a whole different set of circumstances into light, as in: is he in uniform, does he have proper credentials (ie, badge, id card, etc), is he able to produce a uniformed officer. if an unmarked car pulled me over and the officer was not in uniform, i would hesitate to cooperate with him only because it is very easy to outfit a late model crown vic (or caprice) with emergency lights (see gall's catalog) and not be a cop. if he was able to produce a uniformed officer, obviously that would change everything. of course, always fall back on the "i didn't feel safe" excuse.
