The answer to every single one of these is: if it didn't cause an accident, you're almost certainly getting away with it.

Friend of mine has been harassed by the police when walking, cycling, and even riding a scooter. When driving 93 on 93? Never

What do you mean by "harassed"? Were they legitimately doing something wrong? You make it sound like the cop had nothing better to do and stopped your friend for no reason whatsoever.
On the subject of scooters, some of those pinheads need to be stopped and cited. I've seen them do more stupid shit and stunts that make drivers and cyclists seem like exemplary citizens.

Yeah actually it was straight up harassment. And my friend is not shy about admitting when he himself was in the wrong.
Edit: it wasn’t one of those app scooters, my friend would never lol. I don’t even think it was motorized

Sadly, it seems true. In decades of area driving, I have yet to see an offender get stopped, let along ticketed.

It does happen, but rarely. Almost seems like it would be a money maker for the city to hand out tickets. Maybe we need to adopt the red light camera model and just give cops a bounty for every ticket they write.

If anyone yells at you to say "You almost hit me!", yell back and say "Well then I'm almost sorry!".
