So far I am really disappointed with the Tucson community, as I have only been riding a month now and been pulled over on my bike several times.
First thing I would do is print out a copy of http://www.azleg.gov/legtext/47leg/2r/bills/hb2796h.pdf
And carry it with at all times.

Next, when a police officer harass you get there name and badge number and file a complaint at TPD here Compliment/Complaints

In fact even without names I would file a complaint and let them know whats going on so the next time there is already a record that you had a complaint. I have always been contacted by them and explained my situation.

You could also contact your city council member and let them know you are being harassed by the TPD. Tucson in Touch Contact From Links

I don't always file a compliant at the TPD site, I also let them know when I have a good encounter with TPD officers.
