@Mark: I tend to be a bit more cruel in my mind than I am outwardly to my fellow humans. Does that count for anything?

You sound like a cruel person.

An excellent cautionary tale, Sophie, thanks! The moral of the story seems to be: don’t walk anywhere.

Here is your proof of the ridiculous traffic citations being given out in Burbank: today, at 8:00 PM my husband and I got a jaywalking ticket when passing the street on green light with the hand blinking. The light on the intersection of Palm and San Fernando, right across from the AMC theatre is so short that by the time you get to the middle of the street, it turns yellow. And the police officer on a bike cited us just for arguing that we were in the middle of the street when the light turns yellow. I can’t wait for the court date to prove that I am absolutely NOT GUILTY. This is ridiculous but it happens. And on top of that, I felt like I was being treated as a school girl, just the way the officer started talking to me. So be careful.

Liz: I used to hear that about other places in LA, not specifically Burbank. And although it was a well-told tale, I never met anyone in nearly 10 years who actually GOT a ticket themselves. It was always “I heard of this guy” or “a friend of a friend”. I’m pretty sure it was just an LA legend, like the Ghost of James Dean or the Talent of Keira Knightley.

Is it true that Burbank has some of the most ridiculous traffic citations in the country? I’ve heard that they’ll ticket someone for jaywalking, and ALSO ticket the driver who failed to yield to them.

Not that it’s really relevant to the story, but I’m fascinated that there’s actually a place in the country where people get ticketed for jaywalking.

[...] By the way, your comprehension of the story that follows kind of depends on you reading Part I of the tale. [...]
