I have an idea, how about California also institute a law that you can't cross the street, regardless of circumstances, unless you are:
A) In the crosswalk
B) Given the "Walk" sign on the stoplight.
Just kidding, the law exists... And it's enforced...
And YES, I have been given a ticket for J Walking. It was about $120. What a bunch of Fooking morons, that the best thing LAPD has to do with it's time is giving me a ticket for crossing the street against the light.
I'm from New York for crying out loud.
And we won't rehash the thread about California seizing property taxes at 1984 values besides the states inability to afford it's budget
Or the time that the ACLU prevented street maintenance from cleaning SKID ROW by power washing it, to try to clean up the piss, feces, needles, so the environment there wasn't a further breeding ground for Staff Infections, disease, Hep C, etc...
