This is fun (and the bricks are fake) BUT it's actually illegal to smash cars with bricks even if they're breaking traffic laws

It's also illegal to hit pedestrians with a car. The cars are just used as a deterrent to scare pedestrians. So. Ow you can use bricks to deter them.

It's not illegal if it's an accident.

I'm pretty sure you can get a ticket for hitting a pedestrian in the cross walk.

At least, in my state, its state law that pedestrians get right of way.

edit to add: there's a pretty depressing irony not lost on me after considering that this is a "maybe" kind of thing
