Well it's not like cops often charge the current fine now anyways... Whose to say they would even enforce the penalty.

But the penalty for not enforcing the jaywalking penalty is also death.

Well, you could raise an island from the ocean floor if need be. But it occurs to me that the literal reading of this specifies a "patch of land", so it makes sense that the random location would not be in an ocean or lake.
I found a website that serves up random locations on Earth and kept clicking until the first one that was on land. I got a spot just inside the northern edge of Bandingilo National Park in South Sudan. Looks like a pretty nice place, and not too hard to get to (I'd hate to have hit a spot in Antarctica or the heart of the Sahara or something like that). The local political situation could be a bit tricky, though, South Sudan is wretchedly poor and wracked with civil war. I'd probably want to keep a low profile.

I bet pretty much every policeman would quit their jobs in that case.
Maybe we can keep civilization from collapsing by creating a special police force that's dedicated to enforcing all laws except jaywalking-related ones. The regular police could then focus all their time on enforcing jaywalking laws, but there wouldn't be anyone working in that department anyway so it'll all sort itself out.
Or we could just paint crosswalks on every square meter of roadway, making it all legal.

@bryan.derksen: That kind of anti-social thinking is punishable by death

Ok, not really. Otherwise we are making this option a lot worse than it should be. :P
