Europe doesn't have a concept of jay walking so I don't know where you get the idea we have similar prices. Oh, wait, did you mean a specific country in Europe that all have different laws? Certainly in the UK there is no concept of jay walking and the whole thing seems like a ludicrous idea.

There isn't any fines like that in other European countries either, so what you're basing your views on I don't know:
