I've been riding across intersections on the ped crosswalks under the
walk light for years. I know it's perfectly legal in Florida but I've
done it in Illinois, Wisconsin, Colorado, and Ohio with no
repercussions. Maybe I just never got caught.

Probably low on things police are interested in, the quote by the uk police about illegal e bikes is the “riders tend to advertise themselves to us!” Ie they check after they have pulled some dumb shit in front of them!

Out in the country and in the middle of nowhere I run ever stop sign
unless a car is coming. I don't really ride in town too much and when I
do it is not subdivision streets not much traffic. I blow those signs
too unless traffic. I did get pulled over and cautioned once years ago
when I blew through a 4 way stop in small town but there were no cars
coming in either direction.

I don't know about NYC I could not ride a bike there in any situation I believe. I suppose my riding is about like others around here but maybe everyone follows the rules of the road to the letter. In a car yes bike
not so much.
