If you refuse to pay a police ticket for distracted walking, do they throw you in jail?
What if you're unable to pay anyway?

I couldn't find anything on distracted walking in particular. But I'm thinking it's probably about the same as what they do for jaywalking and this is what it says about jaywalking in California: "Mandell says courts once issued bench warrants for your arrest, but that doesn't happen anymore. You cannot be taken to jail, nor does it affect your credit."They basically can only ask you to pay," says Vallejo." But you may want to check with your local authorities. Personally I'd rather not risk it.

Yes. You're expected to pay the fine, whether you pay it with cash or with time in jail or in community service.
-
i dont see why you would get a ticket for walking
-
Yes but the reason for the ticket is irrelevant.
-
If you don't pay, and do not show up in court on the date of the ticket, you get a new court date, and can no longer just pay. You can pay with jail credit.

If you don't pay a ticket, you'll get a summons to court. Once there, the judge will decide if you go to jail or not. You could be arrested too, on an unrelated stop if they see you didn't pay your fines on time. 5/7/26
