Police in the US town of Fort Lee, New Jersey, have started a battle against texters who aren't looking where they're going.
Anyone caught texting whilst walking is fined for "jaywalking", an American term for walking on the road instead of the pavement.
The crackdown is all about safety, say police in Fort Lee.
More than 20 of their pedestrians have been hit by cars in 2012. In just six weeks, they've fined 117 texters.
