> If I walk across a red light in the middle of the night [0], where there's a car every 5 minutes, and do it carefully after looking left, right, left again, and you run up to cops parked nearby who saw that, and insist they do something, they'll laugh at you

What country is that illegal in?

Poland. My friend actually got a ticket for jaywalking at night across a completely empty street.
The US, and that's also besides the point. Why does stuff like this get bickered about, instead of simply showing the vast damages caused by this terrible law? I read FUD about it all the time, I don't know a single case of an actual problem it caused.
