How can places be such police states that it's illegal to cross the road?
Illegal here as well. Learn to behave in society.

Depends on the city. Weird places like Sydney and Melbourne probably enforce it, but they're the only places in Aus with toll roads (besides a few in Brissy), so that says enough.
its a fucking prison colony not a resort
>>70070968
it's easy, the next time you're hit by a car turn down the medics trying to take you to a hospital

It's illegal here as well if you're less than 25 metres from the crossing, but it's not enforced except for gypsies so they don't beg at the fire stops in some cities.

It's the case in a lot of Europe as well. I remember being told off by a pedestrian (!) for crossing the road in Poland when there were no cars in sight at the dead of night. Truly unbelievable

You realise laws regarding this exist in most developed nations. Though you'll rarely find it aggressively enforced anywhere, not in Aus either. As long as you cross the road safely you're fine. If you do it in a way that makes traffic slam on its brakes or almost kills you; then you might get a warning from the police if they see you do this (which is unlikely considering they're not everywhere). Otherwise drivers will be pissed off but everyone will continue on with their day.
you have to go back

Lived in Melbourne my whole life, never been fined personally or known anybody to get fined for jaywalking

Melbourne posts lack substance
I don't come to 4chink for this
>>70070968
I've never been fined for crossing wherever. On top of that I've also never been fined for riding a push bike without a helmet.
Who the fuck gets fined for j-walking?
