we distributed it throughout all the officers in there you need to get back on the sidewalk welcome back to the lackluster channel today's story was submitted by newsnow alabama a few months ago he was filming the results of a traffic collision after being on scene for quite some time officer blackford of the birmingham police department developed an interest in him and threatened him with a jaywalking ticket i can't see your face can i can i help you oxford today can i help you what's your name what is your name i think what's your name because i'm going to write you a ticket for jaywalk

sector have your name and your bags my name is austin blackford rightfully put your badge number you see a number on there what's your background 3531. have a good day brother we've covered jaywalking on this channel before most states have similar laws regarding it alabama's is covered under 32-58-212 which defines jaywalking as between adjacent intersections at which traffic control signals are in operation that means if there is a traffic control signal at these two intersections without an intersection between them you must cross at either light if however there is an intersection without a traffic control signal between the two intersections with traffic control signals then you can cross anywhere along this road as long as you yield to traffic and don't cross diagonally this intersection here which is where newsnow alabama crossed negates the jaywalking claim he didn't receive a ticket but it is believed that this incident and others that he has filmed caused the department to put a bolo on newsnow alabama to warn officers that he films their encounters some time later news now alabama was driving through traffic caused by another traffic collision with his blinker on and room to merge out of a blocked lane he attempted a lane change someone honked he let them go first and then look who he drives past oh [Music] newsnow alabama pulled over and recorded
