 To be fair, I think that almost never happens in America. The only time that's ever happened to me in my life, and I jaywalk always everywhere, was in Vancouver. And I wasn't even crossing mid-block. I was crossing at the intersection against the light. There was no traffic. And someone, you know, stopped me. And I left. I mean, from reading about it, it does seem like people like you or me are generally not stopped for jaywalking.
