New York Mayor Bill De Blasio Caught Jaywalking After City Cracks Down On Pedestrians
New York Post
The Post story includes a video showing that the red hand was not just flashing when the mayor crossed the street. His transgression came even as the NYPD has been cracking down on pedestrian traffic violations over the last month with de Blasio's support.

The jaywalking crackdown was initiated by the 24th precinct on the Upper West Side, after three deadly pedestrian deaths occurred in the area in January. Police began issuing $250 fines to pedestrians caught jaywalking.
Before long, the effort turned sour after police attempted to ticket an 84-year-old man, who didn't understand them and tried to resist. The man was cuffed and allegedly beaten.
Police have now begun issuing more fliers to pedestrians for education and outreach - and fewer tickets, the Associated Press reported on Friday.
