[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The city council, citing “racial equity” voted to decriminalize Metro fair evasion in 2018. Prior to 2018, it was a crime to jump Metro turnstiles. Criminals caught before 2018 could face up to a $300 fine and possibly even jail time, especially for repeat offenders. Current law = not a crime. Offenders do not have to give their real name, and there is no penalty for giving police a fake name. Max fine (if the offender gives their real name) is $50; similar to a parking ticket. Fare evasion is only one of many areas of law the DC council has tampered with. The DC city counsel has only itself to blame for the skyrocketing crime epidemic in DC.[/quote] I mean it's DC, they do dumb stuff all. of. the. time. This is not even the least bit shocking.
