Crossing at other than Crosswalks.
[QUOTE=TrippinTB;3917624]Gentleman, I don't have any first-hand knowledge of this instance.
However, law enforcement will often use benign infractions to initiate contact when they see a suspicious person / vehicle. It could be that she was known to LEO for former activities (drugs, prostitution, etc) and when they observed the jaywalking (crossing at other than crosswalk), it gave them the opportunity to legally approach and interact with her (leading to the drug paraphernalia charge). It could be they saw something suspicious in her activities (waving or giving a sign to passing cars, just got out of the passenger side of a car that drove off, chatting with someone in a car through an open window) and then contacted her when she crossed the street illegally.
If you are the type of individual that likes SWs, it is important to keep your vehicle legal (plates, registration, window tint, etc) and in good working condition (all lights function, muffler, etc). Follow the traffic laws (stay in your lane, full stop at lights and stop signs, use turn signal, etc). Don't give police a reason to stop you! That stop can lead to other issues / charges.
Now, back to this incident. The jaywalking charge seems petty, but could have resulted from several scenarios. She may have been disrespectful or given the police a hard time so they charged her with everything possible. It could be that they feared the possession of drug paraphernalia charge was weak and wanted to ensure something stuck (keeps her name / info in the system). It could be that she stepped out from between cars and was an imminent threat to a vehicle driver that had to avoid her. In that case, jaywalking is a lesser charge than what she could be hit with. And maybe none of this is true and I've seen way too much LivePD.

Less cost, safer for everyone concerned and creates tax revenue instead of taxpayer costs. Germany has something similar in many cities now, and most of Western Europe has similar laws.
