What more, realistically, would you have wanted him to do, and what more evidence would you have needed considering this is the world of the cyclist against the driver, the dash cam, and the decision of the DA after reviewing the evidence?
There’s nothing that points to “####ty” driving.

Except for the ####ty driving displayed on the dash cam footage.
Silly to use the DA for an appeal to authority here. There are myriad reasons they wouldn't proceed with a prosecution.
Cycling is one of the dumbest politicized culture war things...the appointment/election of DA's is also a politicized process. It would be dumb for the DA to waste resources on this because it's inconsequential, and also a risk to the DA's reputation and continued employment. Why is the DA - who deals with a wide breadth of crime (presumably not a lot of traffic citations...) - more of an authority on this than the officer (presumably some type of highway patrol) who issued the citation?
