Well it's not like cops often charge the current fine now anyways... Whose to say they would even enforce the penalty.

But the penalty for not enforcing the jaywalking penalty is also death.

I bet pretty much every policeman would quit their jobs in that case.
Maybe we can keep civilization from collapsing by creating a special police force that's dedicated to enforcing all laws except jaywalking-related ones. The regular police could then focus all their time on enforcing jaywalking laws, but there wouldn't be anyone working in that department anyway so it'll all sort itself out.
Or we could just paint crosswalks on every square meter of roadway, making it all legal.

@bryan.derksen: That kind of anti-social thinking is punishable by death

Ok, not really. Otherwise we are making this option a lot worse than it should be. :P
