For the last several years, the City of Tucson has had a serious problem with traffic fatalities. Some of these fatalities have been the result of impaired drivers, some have been the result of excessive speed or street racing, and some have been the fentanyl zombies who stagger out into traffic without looking both ways.
At the time of this story (March 27, 2026), the City of Tucson had racked up 24 traffic fatalities. Of the 24, 12 have been pedestrians! To give some context to this, at this time last year, the City of Tucson was at 16 traffic fatalities. Of those 16, 5 were pedestrians. The problem seems to be getting worse.
What you are about to see is a Tucson Police Officer's contact with a brazen, unapologetic jaywalker on May 18, 2022. This contact gets sideways and hilarious in a hurry as the jaywalking scofflaw loses his freaking mind!
I hope you enjoy this one and as always, I appreciate you stopping by!

This video starts with a patrol officer with the Tucson Police Department contacting a jaywalker in the median between east and westbound Broadway (Near Sarnoff). The officer stops in the left lane, activates the emergency lights, and tells the jaywalker to walk roughly 150 feet to the west where a HAWK light equipped crosswalk is located. By the way, HAWK stands for High-Intensity Activated Crosswalk. Not sure how they got "HAWK" out of that but whatever...
**All Times Are Approximate**
0-9 seconds: The officer talks to the jaywalker and tells him to walk to the crosswalk. Brazen jaywalker refuses to comply and he walks behind the marked patrol vehicle, with emergency lights activated, completing his jaywalking adventure. Officer then pulls off the road and contacts the jaywalker on the side of the road. *No Sound*
30-seconds to roughly 10 minutes: Officer Voss, AKA: Officer Shit Head, takes a verbal beating from this brazen, unapologetic jaywalker. The savagery!
10 minutes- 10 minutes, 30 seconds: Officer Voss briefs the responding sergeant of this perilous situation.
10 minutes, 30 seconds- 12 minutes, 30 seconds: Brazen, unapologetic jaywalker pleads his case to the responding sergeant.
12 minutes, 30 seconds- 42 minutes: Multiple conversations occur between brazen, unapologetic jaywalker, supervisors, and Officer Shit Head.
**There is also a considerable block of time where Officers Voss and Sullivan (retired) try to figure out the appropriate charges for the jaywalking scofflaw! It is NOT pretty:(
42 minutes- THE END: The ticket is served and Officer Voss explains the jaywalking citation to the scofflaw.
Brazen, Unapologetic Jaywalker Loses HIs Mind
