Will banning texting while walking make the world a safer place?

Asked by Cruiser (40449points) May 14th, 2012

“Fort Lee, N.J. police said they will begin issuing $85 jaywalking tickets to pedestrians who are caught texting while walking.”

Do we really need the police issuing tickets to distracted pedestrians? Isn’t the shame of a video of them walking into mall fountains going viral on YouTube enough punishment? What will government fine us for next to make our world a safer place?
