“Zombie law” fines Hawaiians for distracted street crossing

Honolulu has enacted a so-called Zombie law which makes it an offense to be caught looking at a cell phone while crossing the street. People caught texting or not paying attention while crossing can be fined up to $35 by police. That fine jumps to $99 for repeat offenders. City News is polling online about whether Toronto needs this type of law and the responses are running 86 and a half percent in favour.
