@Cernovich When I visited in 2007, I knew I had to live there one day. When I finally moved in 2015, and opened a brick and mortar, the whole block was graffitied....and we all got citations for having storefronts with graffiti. I feel like 2015 was the beginning of the end.
This is easily defeated in court. The vehicle code says that both the driver, and the pedestrian must exercise caution. If the pedestrian waits for a car to start crossing, that's the opposite of the statute! "This section does not relieve a pedestrian from the duty of using due care for their safety. No pedestrian may suddenly leave a curb or other place of safety and walk or run into the path of a vehicle that is so close as to constitute an immediate hazard. No pedestrian may unnecessarily stop or delay traffic while in a marked or unmarked crosswalk." @bowtiedkong
@Cernovich I'll never forget asking a death penalty lawyer how they knew all the ins and outs, and case law related to such a high level of practice. They replied "we are all just winging it, even the judges."
May He who blessed our fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Moses and Aaron, David and Solomon, bless the sick person Scott the son of Virginia because BowtiedService pledged charity, without a vow, for his sake. It is Shabbat when it is forbidden to plead; healing will come soon; and let us say, Amen.
