Jaywalking was illegal in NYC until 2025 but literally every crossing had people doing it constantly. This is not figurative, it actually is literal. Including people doing it in front of police. Including the police themselves! The law only existed for police to harass and fine blacks and Latinos. And indeed, that was how it was struck down. It is critical to a just society that victims of unjust laws or uneven enforcement complain! | ||
