    Czech cop fires at jaywalker
    Tue 20 July, 2004 18:25

    PRAGUE (Reuters) - A Czech policeman has been relieved of his duty and faces a criminal investigation after taking a crackdown on traffic violations too far when he shot at a pedestrian crossing against a red light.

    The online edition of the Czech daily Pravo reported the policeman in the western city of Pilsen fired a warning shot in the air as a man walked against the traffic light.

    The pedestrian did not return to the sidewalk, so the policeman shot at him twice, missing both times.

    The policeman claimed that he didn't want to kill anyone, and that he was aiming at the man's legs, the daily quoted a Pilsen police official as saying.

    No one was injured in the incident, though one of the policeman's shots hit a passing car.

    Czech police have embarked on a series of campaigns aimed at halting the rising number of traffic accidents across the country.

    Now that's a slight overreaction

    Lol. I remember when I was watching Reservoir Dogs for the first time and when the part where Mason cuts the cops ear off, I said, Oh, shut up, it's only your ear. God, some people...

    We shoot at em here in America. Jaywalking is illegal. Not many get caught, but you can become a convicted felon if the police really want to press charges.

    I say shoot them. If I ran a country, I'd rule by the fist. People piss me off? I'd impale them. Except for my military and my military's close family. As not to piss them off and have them assassinate me.

    Heh, the tragic thing is they were cracking down to reduce accidents.

    You can get a criminal record for jaywalking over a normal street?

    Jaywalking is ordinary here, but most people use the zebra crossing.Getting a criminal record for jaywalking is kinda...over the top. But jaywalkers are fully responsible if they were involved in an accident though.

    I seriously doubt that it is easy to get a criminal record for jaywalking in America.
