Watch out, ped-“text”rians — or at least tear your eyes away from your phone to look around for a cop every once in a while.

Walking while texting in New Jersey could soon get you slapped with a $50 ticket or even 15 days in the slammer.

A “distracted walking” law introduced by Assemblywoman Pamela Lampitt would ban texting while walking and would require pedestrians to use hands-free attachments on their electronic devices.

“Distracted pedestrians, like distracted drivers, present a potential danger to themselves and drivers on the road,” Lampitt said.

Not to mention the risks they pose to fellow walkers, as any New Yorker who has fought through a Times Square sidewalk scrum of screen-staring, selfie-snapping tourists can tell you.

“An individual crossing the road distracted by their smartphone presents just as much danger to motorists as someone jaywalking and should be held, at minimum, to the same penalty,” Lampitt said.

Please...that's just life in the big city.

Drunks, homeless, toothless crack whores, and fucking millennials using technology they did not invent to share useless shit they do in their dull meaningless lives with others useless cunts just like themselves.

I find them all amusing but the crackwhore trannies are my favorite.

if not paying attention while walking is a crime... then following same logic, shouldn't walking drunk be a crime too? especially if you consider that walking drunk is actually a pretty dangerous activity according to U of Chicago professor, Steven Levitt ->

"LEVITT: For every mile walked drunk, turns out to be eight times more dangerous than the mile driven drunk. To put it simply, if you need to walk a mile from a party to your home, you’re eight times more likely to die doing that than if you jump behind the wheel and drive your car that same mile."

Some people cannot chew gum and walk at the same time -- ban gum too!

Yes, it's already illegal to be drunk in public wether walking or not.
