Jaywalking

Overheard, as I'm standing on the sidewalk, waiting for the light to change:

Officer to Pedestrian:  Hey, you're not going to jaywalk are you?  That's illegal you know!

Pedestrian to Officer:  Actually, I was.  Thanks for stopping me; I didn't see you there.

Officer to Pedestrian:  But I could have given you a ticket!  $80 bucks!

Pedestrian to Officer:  I know, but you stopped me and I'm right here on the curb where you CAN'T give me a ticket!

Officer storms off.
