because nobody likes those dirty jays!

anyway it comes from car moguls back at the turn of the century running newspaper articles tying people walking in the street, a perfectly acceptable thing back before cars were invented and shit drivers couldn't help but run over pedestrians, to a derogatory term used to describe the those who couldn't follow commons sense laws. coincidentally the original term was jay-driver, describing a shit driver who couldn't resist speeding down the street and plowing people out of their way...

It's only illegal/enforced in certain parts really and it makes sense in densely populated areas with lots of foot traffic and cars.

cops only enforce it as an excuse to stop someone or when they need to pad their ticket book and figure the victim wont have the ability to fight it legally.
