Contributing sentiments towards policy:

44% : Ting also pointed to a 2015 law requiring local law enforcement agencies to report demographic information to the Attorney General's office, which has shown that Black residents are disproportionally stopped by police for jaywalking.
39% : These laws do not protect pedestrians and instead burden people with unaffordable fines and subject marginalized communities to harassment by law enforcement.
37% : Unfortunately, some of these encounters with law enforcement become life threatening."
