I would rather go the extra mile to protect myself than I would want to walk where and how I wanted, but be in the morgue. Laws are guidelines that some of us break on purpose and that some of us just make a mistake and do not follow. I vote for not getting too deep into I GOTS ME RIGHTS.
What you say is true..I did say walk where you want but I also said obey normal safety procedures..that would include walking facing traffic and NOT wearing headphones.
