In jaywalking arrests, cops may also press additional charges resisting arrest, assault on police officer, obstruction of justice, endangering public safety etc.


They may also just give you a warning.


One time I was about to jaywalk in downtown Portland Oregon. There was a policeman nearby. He said: "Sir, please don't jaywalk in front of me."

I guess that counts as a warning. I don't recall if I noticed him there before I stepped off the curb.
