• "There is a WA law that states as soon as the walk changes to a flashing walk if a pedestrian steps into the cross walk he is a "jaywalker" and can be ticketed."
• "Now, there's also the ever-popular "Let's grab a brisket and fire up the grille," "Good thing that jaywalker got ticketed, before some poor motorist was held responsible for his death," and "What's up with the number of teenage bums with dogs and cats with them?""
• "So with visions of dollar signs (Or pound signs anyway) in their heads, they basically reign in the troops if the current figures are good enough, or get them busting every jaywalker in Strathclyde, to get the “detections” up."
