jaywalking question in CA
Got busted by a traffic cop with a radar gun sitting under a tree today a block away. I did not see him but he busted me for jaywalking.
I remember reading in the driver's handbook from the DMV. This was 25 years ago when I took my driving test that it was legal to cross the street if it was an intersection even without signal light or marked or painted crosswalk. I didn't want to give him my lic. because it would go on my driving record. I told him I did not drive. He needed an ID with a picture and will not take a credit card or anything else with my name on it. he said he would have to take me in if I didn't have the property ID and that I should have a CA ID with me at all time. I didn't want to dick with this butthead because I was going to see my father in the hospital. So I gave in and signed the ticket. anyone know if crossing like that is still legal?
