A Los Angeles prosecutor whose city struggles with record-setting pedestrian deaths blasted California's legalization of jaywalking as 'equity run amok.'
Deputy District Attorney John McKinney speaks to the jury as Judge H. Clay Jacke listens during closing arguments in the Eric Holder, Jr. trial over the death of Nipsey Hussle June 30, 2022, in Los Angeles, California.
"Lawmakers justified legalizing jaywalking to reduce law enforcement’s contact with citizens," McKinney said."Supporters of the new law believed it would remove a justification for police to stop and question people in minority communities. The predictable trade-off for reducing traffic enforcement has been more deaths of pedestrians."
