What strikes me as odd is that they’re not putting cops with radar guns on the street. It sounds like what they have is a speeding problem rather than a jaywalking problem. I slow down for jaywalkers on city streets all the time. If they want to reduce the number of pedestrian deaths, they need to start charging people who hit pedestrians instead of ticketing and roughing up elderly jaywalkers. Besides, going after motorists who misbehave is a good way of reducing congestion in Manhattan, where the mile-long trip from east to west can take an hour.
Where did you come up with the assertion that they did not do that also?
The officer writing Wong a ticket shouted for backup and witnesses said it appeared almost instantly (according to earlier articles.
Now, how do you suppose that was able to happen?
