As a pedestrian have you ever

Been stopped by law enforcement?

I walked three blocks to a convenient store this afternoon. Watchin traffic I crossed 4 lanes but didn't use a cross walk. Was stopped in the parking lot. "Trying to warn about road fatalities" Then asked for Id which I hadn't brought with me. Name, DOB, SS# my address. Then he ran my name. Took my photo.

For crossing the street.

You don’t have to ID if there is no crime.

@MrBrownstone Well technically I did. Just seemed a bit much.

@Punxi Crossing the street is not a crime.

Most municipalities DO have jay walking laws. It’s a BS excuse to stop someone but technically they can stop you for it. @MrBrownstone

@stratosranger It’s not a crime. It’s a infraction

@MrBrownstone While jaywalking is considered a minor infraction in most states, additional charges may be levied against the offending pedestrian if the act disrupts traffic or causes a motor vehicle accident.
