Here in California we have the "Pedestrian right-of-way" law. At anytime, if a pedestrian steps off the sidewalk to cross the street.. ANYTIME.. ANYWHERE. All crossing traffic BY LAW is REQUIRED to stop.

Now the funny thing is, I was born and raised here and from what I can tell by the people I meet, it's just a California thing. I just assumed that was the law everywhere.

To enforce this ridiculous law, cops will often stage crosswalk traps. They'll put one cop on a corner dressed like a human, and right in the middle of the best flowing traffic of the day this asshole will step off the curb. And this is when everyone is flowing at a cool 35m.p.h. The moment his ham hock steps off the curb, and if you don't stop, motorcycle pigs come out of everywhere and nail you. And yes by my tone I guess you can tell I was victim of this awful crime, I mean trap.

The light just turned green and we all picked up speed and were all doing about 35 by the time we came to the next intersection. The cars were thick and just as I came up on the intersection, some asshole steps off the curb. If I had stopped I would have been rear ended. So I blew thru, nowhere near the doughnut muncher and just as I passed the intersection, I saw an armada of roller pigs just waiting to attack.

And did their stupid trap work? Apparently not, if people like the lady Singleton hit are still dying.
