Unfortunately, this country's enforcement of jaywalking laws has gone to the extreme, and a new video of a Michigan State Police trooper proves this point.

MSP Trooper Paul E. Arrowood, 43, was arrested on single counts of common law offense or misconduct in office and assault and battery. The first charge is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison.
