That’s overstating it too. In the US they don’t just spring on everyone who crosses the street without a crosswalk/green.

- hn_throwaway_99 7y agoNo, they don't ticket everyone who jaywalks, but they certainly can. The arbitrary nature of enforcement (there is plenty of evidence for racial disparities in jaywalking enforcement in some locales, easily Googleable) is in my mind a great argument for getting rid of jaywalking laws - they can still keep traffic obstruction laws.
