[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the actual penalty for jumping? There is actually an arrest and it goes to court? How often? Aside from that the district has plenty of resources and we should be putting them towards criminal justice. Where do you get the impression that we don't have the means to prosecute fare jumpers along with other cases? That's a completely random assertion. [/quote] From [url]https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/dr-gridlock/wp/2017/07/11/d-c-council-bill-would-decriminalize-metro-fare-evasion/?utm_term=.ed71ba9f4544[/url]: [quote]The bill, the “Fare Evasion Decriminalization Act of 2017,” would make fare evasion a civil rather than criminal penalty under the D.C. code and lower the fine for offenders to $100 from $300. It also would eliminate the possibility of jail time, removing a phrase from the code that allows fare evasion to be punished by up to 10 days in jail.[/quote][/quote]
