Bottom line, jaywalking is a crime

TEANECK, N.J. - Teaneck officials will meet with parents who are fuming after police ticketed middle schoolers for jaywalking. Some of the Thomas Jefferson Middle School students are as young as 11.

About half a dozen students were returned to school in police cars so their parents could be notified.

Some parents and civil rights leaders question whether police are singling out a predominantly black section of town.

Police say they are responding to complaints from neighbors.
