Why should the morallity of jaywalking be the business of law?

While the jaywalking law does have a morality component, it also has a practicality component.
It is my understanding that "Moral" crimes tend to involved things where there is no "victim." This includes things like suicide, drug use, prostitution, etc. It is true that part of the motive behind jaywalking law is that the jaywalker is risking being hit by a motor vehicle and thereby injured or killed.
But that is not the only reason. Jaywalkers also pose a risk to others by their behavior. On the minor end, a jaywalker can obstruct traffic and the passage of cars where they have the right of way. But they can also cause damage to the vehicle and emotionally scar the driver at having to witness a person being hit and potentially killed. Further, a vehicle trying to justifiably avoid hitting a jaywalker can crash or hit other cars in the process.

What does de jure mean?
De jure is a legal term that means "according to the law". A de jure claim concerns something that may legally be the case, but this says nothing about whether the action or claim is de facto legal, i.e. it can be done.For example, jaywalking is de jure illegal. This means that there are laws forbidding jaywalking. However, those laws are rarely enforced, which is why it is rare to hear of someone fined for jaywalking. Selling heroin is also de jure illegal, but this law is more often enforced.

How business ethics and business law interact with one another?
Ethics is about what we should or should not do, what is moral or "right." Law tells us what we must or must not do, what is legal. A legal choice is not always a moral choice, and a moral choice may even be an illegal one. So, business law is influenced by business ethics, but the two are often at odds.
