Famed conservative political commentator, Russell Nelson, was fined $205k today for a large accumulation of unpaid jaywalking tickets. In fact, Nelson has received over 2,000 jaywalking tickets in multiple cities. Nelson has repeatedly discussed his disdain for jaywalking laws on his podcast, has pending lawsuits to overturn these laws in five cities, and publicly burned his tickets in protest. Nelson has been defiant in the face of the large fine and has vowed to take his case to International Criminal Court and charge several U.S. states with crimes against human rights, fraud, and RICO Act. Several legal scholars question the sense of such a statement, the jurisdiction of the ICC, the charges he cited, and the overall silliness of the whole thing.
