    I've done a search. I can find no statute of such a law. I would get with your trooper buddy, and have him give you the number of the statute. Otherwise, they cannot be ticketing people for having a hitch in their receiver. If I were to be stopped, I'd fight the ticket.

    That council person can stick that suit up her ass. She jaywalked in a negligent fashion bringing harm to herself. What a moron bitch. I guess if she tripped on the curb then she be suing the city to have curbs and sidewalks removed because of the hideous road rash she got on her knees and forehead? Hope she gets stuck with jaywalking ticket and has to pay this guy's lawyer bill, mental anguish and his lost wages for dealing with this frivilous bullshit.

    Dude... several of us have googled it now and haven't found anything concrete. No need to get so pissed. Nobody's calling you a liar... we just want a little evidence. I happen to agree that hearsay doesn't make something a fact, and anecdotal evidence isn't evidence at all.

    ^^^That's the most reliable source I've seen, and it's not pointing to any new laws.

    Like any other politician, she thinks the law applies to everyone else but herself.

    Utilizing common sense to effect your own personal safety is not a law but damn well should be. She wasn't paying attention to what she was doing but it must be someone else's fault--so fucking rich I got da squirts.

    And since we are now into a rant that is pretty much not related to the original post, which has been at least at face value proven false, we will be locking this up until there is a PM to a mod with some factual info about the "new law" in NYS.
