You should exercise caution, slow down, and be prepared to stop to avoid a collision with the pedestrian. It is important to prioritize the safety of both yourself and the pedestrian in such situations.
If a pedestrian walks out into the street in violation of the law, it is important to stay calm and try to avoid hitting them if possible. Honk your horn to alert the pedestrian and slow down if necessary. If needed, report the incident to the local authorities.
Class evidence is evidence that can be linked to a group of people rather than individual evidence which can only be linked to one person. Although class evidence can help solve cases, its not guaranteed to solve it. An example of class evidence is if a shoe print is left behind and the only thing they can make of it is the shoe size or make, that would be a class characteristic since many other people may have that same shoe size and make. The shoe print may also be individual evidence due to the fact that not everyone walks the same. If the shoe has wear on a specific part then we can infer that the suspect walks with more weight on that part of there feet.
The police would not have jurisdiction in such a matter. The person involved would need to pursue the action through the civil procedure as established by the laws of their state of residency.
They are good because a teen has no business being out 2 am unless they're involved in something potentially dangerous like alcohol, smoking, gangs, or drugs. Also, sleep is important and lack of it will affect schoolwork and extracurricularactivities. A curfew teaches responsibility to a teen and act as a safety net. Also, parents need to know their daughter/son is safe.AnswerA teenager has just as much of a right to be out at 2 AM as anybody else. Maybe they like going for long walks or runs late at night or very early in the morning. Maybe they like to go to the park in the middle of the night to swing on the swings. Maybe they like going to late movies.Whatever the case, a teenager does not have to justify him/herself to you. Your neighbor's teenage kid does not owe you an explanation for his/her actions.The idea that a teen "has no business being out at 2 AM" is extremely presumptuous. What your neighbor or your neighbor's kid does is none of your business, and you do not have the right to dictate when it is appropriate for someone else's kid to be outside.What a teen is doing out at 2 AM is nobody's business except their own, and their parents'. It's not up to the government to decide when a child should be home. That decision is up to the teen and his/her parents.It's nice that some people are apparently so concerned about teens getting enough sleep at night. But again, how much sleep a teen gets is not the government's business...or anyone else's, except for the teen's and his/her family's.If a parent needs to know their daughter/son is safe, then they can enact their own curfew. They don't need the government to do it for them.To pre-emptively restrict someone from being outside their home, just because they MIGHT commit a crime or cause trouble, is unjustifiable. We don't put such restrictions on people unless they've already been convicted of a crime or crimes (parolees, for example, have many restrictions put upon them regarding where they have to be and when). To tell someone that they are too "dangerous" to be allowed out at night -- when you don't know a single thing about them besides their age -- is ludicrous.And, to enact a law that applies only to a specific demographic group or groups is inherently unconstitutional. It is a WHOPPING violation of a person's civil liberties. If someone tried to enact a law that said that black people, or women, or the elderly, must be inside their homes from 10 PM to 6 AM, it would never fly. So why is it okay for teenagers?No one has yet enacted a law making it illegal for elderly people to drive, despite the obvious prudency of doing so. Even though making it illegal for seniors to drive could greatly reduce the number of auto accidents that happen when people who are too old to drive attempt to do so, we don't do it. Why? Because it's wrong. Because it's wrong, and because, unlike teenagers, elderly people can vote against the passing of such laws.But, morality and constitutionality aside, there is no valid evidence whatsoever to support the idea that teen curfews help reduce nighttime crime and/or disturbances. The only "evidence" anyone can provide is either anecdotal, manipulated and/or misinterpreted statistics, and/or convoluted reasoning that has no basis in logic or even common sense.In fact, teenagers commit the LEAST crime of any demographic group, except for the elderly! Not only that, but the majority of crimes that ARE committed by teens are committed between the hours of 2 PM and 8 PM. NOT in the middle of the night. Source: Related Link #1, "National Youth Rights Association - Curfew FAQ" (see below).We get along just fine without a teen curfew here in New York City. In fact, New York City is currently the safest city in the United States.In sum, teen curfews are unfair, unconstitutional, totally unnecessary, and completely ineffective.See the Related Links below for further reading.
In most places in the western world, yes it is legal to be in underwear in public. Or to be more precise, it is not illegal, there being a subtle difference. But that needs some clarification. Doing so isn't usually classed as indecency. That is presuming of-course that the underwear isn't see-through, tight or so minute that private parts are clear or exposed. Having said that just about everywhere has some law that can be used to stop you in your tracks - if the police are so minded. The kind of law would be causing a public nuisance or alarm - called different things in different places. Such laws are often open to interpretation. In the US these days there are a great many underwear events - from fashion stunts, charity runs and walks to the annual No Pants metro ride - not to mention NY's very own Naked Cowboy who struts around wearing nothing but a pair of tighty whities and a guitar in all weathers. It is doubtful if many of them have been arrested for indecency - or even if the participants themselves consider what they are doing is indecent. The use of nuisance laws would hardly likely to be used against those taking part in a mass event especially one for charity. Basically it would come down to context. If you are up to no good and out to cause alarm then maybe what you are doing is illegal. If it is simply harmless fun and especially in a group the police might have a hard time securing a prosecution - and indeed made to look very foolish if they tried.

Yield the right of way to avoid injuring them

It doesn't matter what State, if a pedestrian violates the no jaywalking laws, a motorist MUST slow down, stop, let the walker get to safety. If you hit a pedestrian, whether the person walked in or outside the laws, it doesn't matter. You are driving a lethal weapon and you are expected to be prepared for ALL obstacles or unusual situations.
An idiot. But generally speaking, a person walking the street is called a pedestrian.
It is never okay to walk on private property without permission. If the pedestrian walks on private property, the pedestrian is a trespasser.
