Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed a law Friday that will decriminalize jaywalking across California, ending the familiar practice of police handing out tickets to pedestrians on the argument that the law is enforced more often against minorities than other people.
The new law, AB 2147, known as the “Freedom to Walk Act,” could bring an end to a cultural difference that has marked otherwise libertine Californians as being uniquely deferential to laws governing pedestrian traffic.

Then they also need to decriminalize running down jaywalkers. It’s not like folks will deliberately run them down but hey.....
I don’t think jaywalking should be a crime, but the bill should be called blacks can’t follow the rules.
“Hey, here’s something that is illegal.”

Freedom to get run over act
Wonder when they will decriminalize the future sale of gas powered vehicles? You know that will have an inordinate impact upon poor folks.
Using that logic, murder should be decriminalized.
Laws don’t matter, only black lives do.
Won’t be long before Gruesmone Newsom outlaws white cars in Cauliphonya.
I wonder if this same law legalizes camping on the road.
The reason Leftwingers see racism everywhere is because ...
....and there are many out there who would support doing so, if it gave them another opportunity to virtue signal...
Before you know it Californiation will only have laws against murder and those will be considered misdemeanors.
“But black people do that a lot.”
They do like to walk in the road.....WTH is that anyway?
LOL, I had to look into that picture...hilarious backstory.
Minorities don’t assimilate
Traffic laws are inherently racist. Repeal them all.
Yep. Pass stupid “environmental” laws, and you create more “Barbecue Beckys.”
Is there anyone who does not yet understand the left is using ‘racial diversity’ to implement communism?
