| 2024-07-17 | |
| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A teenager who was arrested for jaywalking has had the last laugh after a judge threw out his ridiculous case. The 17-year-old was on the sidewalk with friends in the suburb of Dunleith, a suburb of Wilmington,
Perhaps sensing something was not right, he took out his phone and began filming the interaction, capturing the moment two officers pulled up to the group. In the clip, an officer is heard aggressively demanding they stop and provide identification, but is reluctant to tell them why. Within just one minute, the teenager is arrested. While he exacted some form of revenge when a judge later threw out the case, the teen's mother has since branded the officer's conduct as 'absolutely unhinged'. The police have maintained they were right to stop the group of young people, claiming they had been observed behaving both 'recklessly' and 'suspiciously'. 'Officers witnessed the group run across New Castle Avenue without utilizing a proper crosswalk. While crossing the road, one of the individuals was observed running recklessly through active traffic, nearly causing an accident,' said Senior Cpl. Richard Chambers in a statement. It was claimed another teen was walking holding his waistband, possibly to give the impression to others that he might have been carrying a weapon in his pants. Officers said also said that two of the teens had been 'wearing hooded sweatshirts with the hoods up,' which also made officers suspicious. 'Officers observed this to be odd as it was approximately 80 degrees,' the statement said. | |

| #4 ^ #2 Have such a dash-cam video of a Bike rider vs Truck in a cross-walk. Bike Rider almost became a grease mark. Then the Bike Rider started screaming at the truck driver. |

| #3 Seems some people want to get as far from crosswalks, or, at night, street lights, in order to cross. Bikers going more or less with traffic are bad enough. Barely missed, a couple of times, black guys gutting across multiple lanes forcing jam stops and swervng. |

| #2 On the other side of the coin, vehicle drivers who don't stop for folks walking in marked crosswalks (even with the flashing lights). And once again, don't get me started on bicycle riders. |

| #1 We have heard and read stupid things like Jaywalking laws are Racist and should be/are being repealed. Drivers struck and killed over 7,300 people in the United States (2023), according to preliminary data. Guess what the likely to be called RACIST Demographics tell us. Deaths by State I can, and I am sure many others also, with Dashcam's could send 100's of Jaywalking idiot videos. My best exp so far, is the idiot within 20 ft of the light controlled crosswalk. Running across 6 lanes with a GREEN Light between vehicles moving, to get some smokes and a beer. Yeah I pulled to the store to see what his emergency was. |
