Back in the day people refered to hicks or hillbillies as "jays". When a Jay made a visit to the big city they thought they could just cross the street anywhere they pleased and would get themselves almost run over. People would say, "look at that stupid jay walking". Eventually it became a ticket offense and the name just sort of stuck.
