claim it is still illegal, but cannot be ticketed for without certain conditions. I wonder why, or if, this weird condition exists.
(I see it is supposedly to prevent police harassment, but that doesn't explain the weird legal status)
- Zak 4y agoThe main purpose is likely to allow the police to cite a pedestrian who is at fault for an accident, which helps protect the other parties involved from civil liability.
- b112 4y agoThe law could be rewritten to take that into consideration. The current exception even has language in it to delineate its use.
