[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shout out to the Save Our System Campaign for their efforts to decriminalize fare evasion.[/quote] More like Save Our Local Criminal Element. The broken window rule is that if police don't sweat the small stuff, the public feels powerless in the face of lawlessness and criminals feel more empowered to commit more serious crimes.[/quote] What the proposed legislation would do is make fare jumping the equivalent of a parking ticket, a speeding ticket or a red light ticket. From a resource allocation standpoint, I am not sure I see the problem. Are people saying that fare jumping is more "criminal" than speeding or running a red light? [/quote]
