I had my first run in with the Montreal police force last night. I was pulled over for jay walking! I resisted the urge to get into a debate about freedoms with the officer, instead I played the dumb tourist card, rather successfully. Although he couldn’t believe we don’t have jay walking laws in Scotland, he let me off without a ticket.
I learned my lesson. I now check for police before I jay walk. 
Blimey oh riley. Thank god u didn’t get busted – what would it have cost??? JC. PS We want pics!!
Not sure how much it would have cost actually, hopefully not too much, I’ll probably get busted eventually!
My pocket camera is busted so I can’t see the pics after I’ve taken them, it’s almost like the old fashioned days of film! I’ll snap off some shots over the weekend though.
Ha ha…and a wise lesson at that!
What is Jay Walking?
@Steve: Crossing the street either when the traffic lights are at red, or if there isn’t a proper crossing place. Crazy!
