In that case why can jaywalkers be charged with the crime of reckless endangerment in the US without anyone killed, or hurt? Reckless endangerment in Nevada occurs when someone allegedly "neglects any duty imposed by law in willful or wanton disregard of the safety of persons or property." So if a police officer believes that you were deliberately jaywalking in a careless way that could hurt someone else, you may face reckless endangerment charges. If no death or substantial bodily harm results from an alleged act of reckless endangerment in Nevada, the charge will be a gross misdemeanor carrying up to $2,000 in fines and/or up to one year in jail. http://www.shouselaw.com/nevada/jaywalking.html http://www.shouselaw.com/nevada/jaywalking.html
