I do, but would you bet your child's life that everyone does? To run a cross the road infront of a buss like that is an accident in the making. We are taught that at home and school from an early age ( not American).
The person you are responding to is saying they know this and observe this; but others don't. It's not a question about who is going to jail — the prime motivation here should be to make sure children don't get hurt even if dumbtards are driving on the road that day.
What does this mean? Right to due process is enshrined in the constitution. They may take you to jail immediately (which happens for many things), but you still get a court case.
well kinda they have cameras on most busses now and if it isn't a 100% yeah you will get a judge but the only time you see a judge in a case like that is when your being sentenced its a very odd crime
Source? Traffic laws like this are covered by the states, so you'll have 50 versions. In California, it's a fine of up to $1,000 and license revocation of up to 1 year. But those are max penalties. I didn't see anything about skipping trial, and that would violate the 5th and 14th amendments.

The kid never looked for traffic on either side and just ran infront of the buss. A passing car would never had any chance to react.
Edit: In my profession I do risk assesments and investigate accidents.
