"TRAFFIC STING - Cars fail to yield as Deputy Mark Dunkel crosses Avenue I in Lancaster as part of a sting operation involving Lancaster and Palmdale deputies from the Antelope Valley Traffic Task Force." KELLY LACEFIELD/Valley Press "TRAFFIC STING - Cars fail to yield as Deputy Mark Dunkel crosses Avenue I in Lancaster as part of a sting operation involving Lancaster and Palmdale deputies from the Antelope Valley Traffic Task Force." KELLY LACEFIELD/Valley Press Looks to me like Deputy Dawg is not in a crosswalk, which means he is jaywalking.
I suspect most drivers don't even remember that they're supposed to yield for pedestrians. So they don't. Education is needed, although it shouldn't be needed.
Good on 'em. A good revenue raiser for the county, too.
I don't know what the laws are like in Los Angeles, but in Seattle you have to yield for pedestrians whether they are crossing the street at a crosswalk or jaywalking. It's a BS law, but it is the law. Fortunately, most pedestrians aren't aware of it. If more pedestrians knew the law, you would never be able to drive in Seattle.
It looks like he is wearing a "NY" emblemed hat!??? In Southern CA.
If so I would think that falls under the "incite to riot" category of provocation.
