Jaywalking has always been a problem in America. Why? I couldn't tell you the answer. What I could tell you is that out of all things, Jaywalking shouldn't be something you get tickets and charges from. I mean seriously? You're basically getting a ticket for walking at your own risk and more than 1 million people do it but still want it to be illegal, statistics have shown. Disgusting. Why should we ban something so harmless AND that every single person has done at least once in their lives including toddlers. What? You're going to give a toddler a ticket for jaywalking? Pathetic.
