ATTN POLICE: Enough Already with the Jaywalking Stings! Don't Cops Have Better Things To Do?

Views:998
@ReasonVids

Cops across America really don't want you to jaywalk. In San Diego they doled out 328 tickets (on a single day!), in New York they bloodied an 84-year-old who crossed against a red light, and in Austin they jailed a jaywalking jogger.

Austinites responded to the incident with outrage, and Chief Art Acevedo reacted to their outrage with outrage of his own. "In other cities there's cops who are actually committing sexual assaults on duty," said Acevedo. "So I thank God that this is what passes for a controversy in Austin, Texas!"

And sure, jaywalkers in LA get stuck with $200 tickets, and entrepreneur Peter Shankman's offense of jogging in New York's Central Park before 6:00 a.m. could cost him as much as a thousand bucks, but it's important to remember that jaywalking crackdowns are all about keeping pedestrians safe. They definitely have nothing to do with raising revenue.

Just over 3 minutes.

"Don't Cops Have Better Things to Do?" is written and directed by Ted Balaker (@tedbalaker). Produced and edited by Matt Edwards (@MattChrisEd). Music by audionautix.com and "The Contessa" is by Maurice and the Beejays (Magnatune Records).
