是我们这儿做实验的一个小本，应该是星期六临晨的时候jaywalk被关了两天监狱。所
有的人都觉得不可思议。
jaywalk肯定是illegal的，但是也不至于关监狱吧。而且是临晨，路上都没有人。我感
觉jaywalking就像speeding，大多数人都干过，一般就是ticket呗。
我想请教的是有没有可能告警察滥用权利。谢谢大家。

I have a feeling the real story is not as simple as this seems.

well, it's not as complicated as you feel. He is a good kid.
Also, I am asking whether there is a chance to sue the cop assuming
everything I said is true.

Sorry. I don't know the answer to your question, and I have no intention to conduct legal research for free right now. I have a gut feeling, though, that your friend won't have a case against the cop.

if you google "jaywalk jail" you'll find some instances of jaywalkers
getting jailed. if you consult wiki entry about jaywalking - it seems some
states treat this more seriously than others and short jail time can be
imposed. but I guess your friend might have some altercation (or just a bad
"attitude") with the police when the police accosted him. that could the
real reason for him to be jailed.
anyway, if you really want to get help, you should find a lawyer - check
your school, community, or

What's with the attitude? I am willing to help, so I gave you my gut feeling
. I'm just not willing do legal research, which costs me money. Legal
advice is an expensive commodity. If you want to get some for free, you
better lose that attitude. (Now I have a better idea why you friend got
jailed for jaywalking. You know what they say, birds of a feather flock
together).

It can't be just jaywalking. There must be something else.
Either lz kept some detail away from us or lz's friend kept something.

I know it's hard to believe. There was another kid with him when he was
arrested, who told us the same story. The poor kid bahaved very politely. He
didn't do anything to make the thing worse.
We are in a small southern town. And I never heard anyone being arrested
because of jaywalking.
