It’s still a factor in a potential offender’s mental calculation.
If the penalty is very high you will still think very hard about it even if you are good at evading detection.

If jaywalking was a capital offense but only one person in 300,000,000 a year got arrested and convicted for it, it wouldn't put a huge dent in jaywalking. Whereas a fine of say $75 and a 95% catch rate will pull jaywalking down to almost zero pretty quickly.
