One would think it would be easier to pass a law that makes it illegal for cars to hit pedestrians in the crosswalk.
Is it also illegal in New York to chew gum while walking?
Instead of solving real problems....................this is what happens when you don’t vote, Cuomo, delbasio and a whole host of dirt bag street level urban thugs and criminal lawyers solving real problems like racism, islamaphobia transgender rights, gay rights, free college for illegals, filthy dirty city, crime cover-up statistics oh and lets not forget their prize bill texting while walking. heard the budget now includes your tax dollars for their campaign! nice! closing off the glimmer of light for the stupid GOP in the area
One would like to ask...How can anyone live there?
Problem is, when 95% of them move, mostly to the South(unfortunately), they bring that BS with them because they’re so much smarter than everyone else.

I'm sure all of them take a cr** and read at the same time.
Waiting for the NY law which make it illegal to exhale CO2 ...
If you drive a car I’ll tax the street,
If you take a walk I’ll tax your feet
The lawmakers should be made illegal.
Blue laws are back.
Almost every time I approach a vehicle in front of me that’s going about 5 MPH under the speed limit, they usually have a phone in their hand....And I can’t even count the times I’m next to a car at a stop light and the driver is looking down texting.....
But crapping in the street? Totally OK.
These people are insane.
This is a practice nobody will defend, therefore we will make it illegal and collect lots of fines.
Time to consider getting a smart watch or Google glasses for travel to NY. NOT!
How will they tell if you were just browsing or changing the music on your phone? Wouldn’t that require an illegal search?
Ridiculous. If someone needs to be so oblivious that they’ll walk into traffic without looking or walk into a telephone pole, that’s their destiny. Laws won’t help... but they might generate some civic revenue!
This is NOT about safety.
It IS All about $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ call it what You want: Fine, Tax, Safety Fee it’s all the same- moving Your MONEY INTO THEIR POCKET AND THEY WANT IT ALL !!
Make it illegal for DeBlasio to pick up groundhogs.
The news outlet reports there’s no clear evidence indicating that the use of personal electronics while walking causes accidents, but New York lawmakers are still considering fines for using them.
Fines can range between $50 to $150 depending on the number of offenses.
Just looking for more sources of income to support the STATE.
Cash grab.
