Jaywalking appears to be a crime (misdemeanor) in some jurisdictions. If you pick someone from those jurisdictions... chances are good that they've jaywalked at some point. Doesn't mean a Congress investigating you would ever find evidence on it, or that it would care even if it did, but it does make it more likely that the statement that everyone commits a crime is true. Right?
- IfOnlyYouKnew 7y agoQuote: "some crime(s) punishable by jail time" The charge is that the definition of serious crime has expanded to make everyone liable to go to jail. Traffic infractions do not fit the charge, because while a large majority of people will at some point break those laws, very few people consider the rules of the road an oppressive plot to enslave the population.
