What New York City mayor instituted $50 tickets for jaywalking?

I believe Giuliani attempted to enforce it.  Mayors cannot create law.  That function goes to the city council and state assembly (or the federal government).  Jaywalking was part of Giuliani's attept to change the 'quality of life' in the city.  I recall that in one recent year, possibly after he left office, approximately 100 tickets were issued.  Also, it may not be an offense if you cross solely from one side of the street to the other using the shortest method possible (i.e. don't go diagonally).

There is a fee to pay - I think it's 50 dollars. You can apply over the web.

Ask Bill Clinton, he LOVES to give pardons!  Hey!  He pardoned the terrorists that bombed the WTC the FIRST TIME!

Rudy Giuliani (ex-mayor of N.Y.) because he did a lot of NY when 9/11 hit and even before that. He could do a lot of positive actions to the U.S. that would be benefitical to all of us living here. \n\nI'm crossing my fingers in hopes that he runs.

Rudy Giuliani - NYC Mayor (1994-2001)\n\nReduce crime agressively from 8000 incidents/100,000 citizens in 1994 to 3200 in 2001.\n\nAgressive with real estate policies.  Times Square transformed from a run-down center for businesses ranging from tourist attractions and peep shows to a high-price district filled with family-oriented stores and theaters, including the MTV studios and a massive Disney store and theater.\n\nRole during 9/11 attacks.  He coordinated the response of various city departments while organizing the support of state and federal authorities for the World Trade Center site, for city-wide anti-terrorist measures, and for restoration of destroyed infrastructure. He made frequent appearances on radio and television to communicate critical information to the public authoritatively: for example, to indicate that tunnels would be closed as a precautionary measure, and that there was no reason to believe that the dispersion of chemical or biological weaponry into the air were a factor in the attack. He balanced the need to make hundreds of decisions directly and immediately, to delegate hundreds of others, and to visit the injured and console the families of the dead.

The owner was The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the same government agency that runs the PATH subway trains between NY and NJ, as well as the three airports in the New York Area.\n\nI'm not sure how much money was lost.

I would take it to Christies Auction. I can bet it's really worthless since every square inch of Manhattan is spoken for. Maybe you could write Donald Trump and ask him about it too.

The Mayor is asking people to be vigilant and report crime to the police as soon as it happens.

For some reason this question gets asked about once a week. In many or most places, public urination is a ticketable offense with a fine of $25-$100, quickly forgotten once the fine is paid. It's like parking.\n\nIf your community is particularly prudish, and has made a felony (like bank robbery) then the answer is different. In that case, bribe some doctor (they can almost always be bribed) to give you a letter -- and some fake X-ray pictures -- proving you have bladder problems and that failure to urinate frequently will cause an early death.\n\nThis actually worked for some guy who got a public nuisance ticket in New York. It just might work for you too. Even if you're in Boston.
