They allow you to own and carry firearms, but don't trust you to cross the road? Crazy.

The enforcement of these rules seems like a waste of police time and resources to me, speaking purely as a 'freedom-hating' Brit of course. With the fines involved (I assume), it also seems like another revenue scam for the local authorities, which means that it will be coming to Britain soon!

Gotta laugh at the touchy responses from our US friends on here though.
lol, yes, the copse beat up everyone who tries to cross the street in

We jaywalk all the time, even in the presence of policemen. The absent minded professor probably tried it when it was too dangerous.
