Is "Jaywalking" allowed in Germany?

Wow, you Germans and your low fines.. it's 45€ here in NL for walking a red light. And it IS enforced.

I would cross the road like that in front of the police, 5e is quite cheap and offers you a unique souvenir from your trip to Eurofurence :)

I wonder if they would fine s.b. in a fur suit? Or where they would expect the walker would keep his money? ;)

If you provoke a police officer, they can not only fine you, but seriously ruin your day. So don't be stupid, okay?

I can vouch for this from experience in the police, it's seriously not worth even trying. Nobody likes to be shown up and the police will not tolerate it.
