NEW: The LAPD is setting up drivers by having someone walk across the street in an “unmarked crosswalk” so they can then give tickets to people who don’t stop.“Recently, LAPD Van Nuys division conducted a Pedestrian Enforcement Taskforce,” they shared online.The LAPD says the trap was made to “promote education” after they’ve “had a string of accidents that have resulted in fatal or severe injuries related to pedestrians.”

Not sure how this is educating people. Looks more like it’s a recipe for an accident. People walking across a street where there is no cross walk or at a controlled intersection causing cars to stop where they normally wouldn’t will cause rear end collisions when the vehicle in the rear doesn’t know what’s going on other than the vehicle in front of them comes to an abrupt stop.

My uncle died walking in a non-cross walk. But the drivers are to blame according to cops. My uncle is gone; and I blame my uncle for his stupidity, not the driver.

owning a vehicle is negligence idc. there's no reason for American roads to work how they do. the world is for life, the streets are for people not those bastardized death boxes. one less car on the street is a net positive for the world

they did something like this to catch Uber and Lyft drivers a while back from picking up passengers that flagged them down for a ride instead of using the app
