“Jaywalking” is propaganda, not a legitimate thing.

Do people still get fined for jaywalking in the likes of NY?

Sure, but, as to be expected, it’s more of an avenue for racial profiling than anything else

It’s pretty real where I live. Pedestrians can get fined if they are being actively dangerous with it (eg stepping out from behind obstruction without making sure it’s safe to do so), and the fault can be actually theirs if they cross outside a “safe” location.

Just because its origin was from propaganda doesn’t make it not real. There are actual laws against Jay Walking, you can be charged and fined for it.
