I edited the reply before this one you might want to read it.
But I see you have given me an answer already.
You describe what might happen and what your experiences are. But what I wanted to know is what you advocate being done to me.
Can I make up out of you're answer you would advocate for them to fine me, sending a ticket to my house?
Sorry, you're right. I didn't actually answer the question. Yes, I would advocate for a fine. Like a ticket/bill sent to your house, for example.
If you don't pay, you get another bill later with interest. If you simply refuse to pay, other action will be taken against you. Maybe something you own will be repossessed. Or, the amount will be automatically deducted from your salary. If you're self employed, maybe other sanctions like loss of credentials or license to operate your business.
There are any number of actions that can be taken but at this point it is no longer an issue of jaywalking. It's a matter of owing money to the government, or state, or city, or town. Whatever the case may be, you will no longer be welcome in that community or society. There are other ways to make your life miserable without resorting to armed violence.

Thanks for the answer.
I read your edit b.t.w. :)
I back up a little.
If I saw you walking somewhere (maybe i.m.o. dangerous)...you have not harmed anyone and not brought someone in danger, would it be ok for me ( a normal human being) to take your money? Giving you a paper with a sum of money on it directly, or send it to you by mail threatening you to send higher bills, if you don't pay. Would I have the right to do that?
I edited to clarify

No, unless it's your job to do so. And by job, I mean you try to enforce the law (maybe blow a whistle, give me an angry look, or yell at me) or help carry out the "punishment" by writing a ticket. It would not be your job to try and take my money or threaten me. That's someone else's job.
By the way, your opinions or feelings on my actions are irrelevant as far as the law is concerned. That said, you could choose to turn a blind eye and let me get away with it. Or let me go with a warning.
In general, laws allow for leeway in the amount of punishment but there is a hard limit on the maximum. So for jaywalking it could be anything from simply letting you go up until the maximum of writing you a ticket. It can't be more than that.

I meant with "normal human being" not a policeman or government employee of some sort.
So you answer is, no.......right?
And I can take from that, that you, or anyone else of the normal human beings, on this world, would not have a right to do that to me? (As described in that situation.)
I add an in between question waiting for your answer on the above question. Don't want to jump conclusions here :)
If I saw you on the street and you stole a purse from someone, would I have the right, as a normal human being, to stop you take the purse and give it back to whom it belonged.
Or if you were killing people with a gun ( I know it's an extreme example ;) would I have the right to stop you (as a normal human being)
It can take a while before I reply...It's late here.
Thanks for so far :)

I think I should stop jumping ahead and just stick to answering your questions. :)
Correct. My answer is no.
Correct. Also no.
These two questions are a bit trickier. Since I believe in the rule of law, your rights would depend on what the law has to say. So I can't say whether or not you have the "right", as such. But if it's just up to me, I'd say that you do have the right to stop me in both situations.
