[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is an enforcement issue, decriminalization basically sends a message to LE to not even bother anymore. [/quote] Really? Do LE's not give speeding tickets anymore although the penalty is a fine? How about red light and parking tickets? The message it sends is give the guy a desk ticket and get on with trying to keep more serious offenders and terrorists out of the Metro system. It says focus on more serious offenders and stop arresting people for this particular offense. It also says that we are not going to clutter up or prosecutors' desks with this stuff when they can be prosecuting other crimes. Interesting though, a lot of the fare jumpers I knew in NYC were private school kids who jumped the gate so they could buy pot with the money their parents gave them for the subway. I wonder if there would be the same opposition if that were the case here. [/quote]
