I wish this was true. But in reality, in my experience in the Netherlands and in Australia, tickets get written because x, y says so. Not because you were or weren't doing anyy reckless. And we are conditioned by this, I am really dumbfounded when people are not jaywalking in the middle of the night in an empty street. And personally I am glad to take that ticket risk.

Yes, we can certainly agree that this "anti-pattern" occurs, and that it's a perversion of the system. I've been on the receiving end of some technically-correct-but-not-helping-anyone tickets myself. On the whole, however, it is my feeling that police operate as described above. More to the point, it is not the purpose of these laws to fully suppress the behavior they punish. When applied in a manner to do so, it is a perversion.
