I'm guessing that your life is a never ending effort to piss people off. I suspect you can't go 5 minutes without deliberately trying to piss someone off.
And yes, you sound like a criminal to me.

Well, if you keep breaking the law, then yes, you are a criminal. It might come as a shock to you, but something as simple as running a red light, IS against the law. If you break the law, technically, that makes you a criminal.
It sounds to me like all the tickets you've been given have been justified from what you've said. I can't figure out why they would take your boots though.
I have a suggestion: Learn your rights. That's a great place to start. Get your butt in a college classroom teaching Constitutional Law.
Also, stop breaking the law. When the police stop you, be polite. Your attitude makes a difference in your interaction with police. The police CANNOT stop you without reasonable suspicion that a crime has occured, is about to occur or is occurring. 15 times in a month leads me to believe that you are probably a bad driver. I would also venture to guess that you live in a small town. A very small town. But 1800 times? You're trying to tell us that you were pulled over 1800 times in 10 years? And you didn't do anything wrong? Do you have proof that they are telling your employer to fire you? If so, take it to your county prosecutor, along with your other complaints.
I find your story highly exaggerated and very difficult to believe. My guess is that your interaction with police is brought on by yourself. Behave yourself and you should be fine. YES, when you're on a bike you still have to obey the traffic laws!

Well, did you/were you breaking laws when they stopped you? Some of the things you listed for the mountain bike ARE in fact illegal. If they cite you for something, get it up to law specifics (get the light, etc.).
If you feel you are being wronged, I would speak to a lawyer. Or maybe contact the ACLU. But otherwise, you really need to follow the laws.
For the car: if you are a known speeder, and a cop runs your plates and finds that out, of course they are going to pull you over and cite you for speeding (if you are even a little). They sit in traffic and randomly run plates for a reason.
For the bike: All that you listed, you were breaking the law. You on a bike have most of the same laws as a car. You have to have lights on the bike for night riding, you have to ride on the side with traffic, not into oncoming traffic, and you have to make turns in the proper lanes of traffic. If you are in the left turn lane, you must turn left. If you were in a car, you would have to - why is a bike different?? And on a bike you do have to stop at all red lights. I had a friend stopped on his mountain bike for speeding (in a posted 25 mph zone). You HAVE to follow the traffic laws on ANY vehicle - bike, motorcycle, scooter, car, truck, etc.
Personally (and I know I don't know all of the facts - so don't send me any nastygrams about it) from what you listed here, you are just an unlucky law breaker that always gets caught. But if you feel wronged, call a lawyer. Be ready to prove your accusations.

Evidently they feel that you have been doing bad things and continue to catch you doing wrong. Maybe you should familiarize yourself to the laws in your area before doing anything. Riding the wrong way on a road can get you killed, driving erratically or speeding will get you pulled over as well as operating a vehicle with unsafe equipement. You may be stretching your suspicions abit by thinking they ended your job. You probably violated a few rules there too.

You don't deny doing these things. I mean, if you turned left from the right hand lane at 3am, that is a ticket able offense.
How many DUI's???

Like the police have nothing better to do than just harass you. Obviously you just can't stop breaking the law.
Funny, I never have these problems....oh wait! I don't break the law! AMAZING!

If you are serious about this. Get people to follow you and record these occurrences...something does not sound right. Either you are lie or you are doing something to attract their attention that causes them to do this.

Get evidence, document it heavily, get as many eyewitnesses or video tapes as you can where they are cleary committing the said accusations.
Then contact Internal affairs.
