The Internet is buzzing about an unsubstantiated report that the City of Philadelphia was preparing to start handing out $120 fines to people for texting while walking. Clarifying the matter, Deputy Mayor for Transportation and Utilities Rina Cutler aid that the city’s “Give Respect, Get Respect” campaign targeted at cyclists, motorists and pedestrians will include educational brochures for pedestrians, but no fines. Cutler added, “It is not a crime to text and walk. It is dangerous, but not a crime. The only violation that comes close is jaywalking and no one is giving out tickets for jaywalking.”

Even Mayor Nutter jumped in on Twitter saying: "It is NOT illegal to text and walk in Philly. You will NOT be fined. You will NOT be ticketed."
