[quote=Anonymous]I am irritated by the wanton and gratuitous fare evasion on Metro, but it's hard for me to want people to be arrested over this considering I had a WMATA cop threaten to arrest me for wrongly believing I snuck through the turnstiles without paying. This had to be in 2013 or 2014. Cop accused me of squeezing through the turnstyles. When I called his bluff and said let's ask the station manager what the card said, he told me to get off the system or I'd be arrested. What a jackass. I know how it feels to be on the wrong end of a lying cop. It's not worth the $2.00. At the end of the day, WMATA fare evasion is a rounding error. Metro doesn't even know how much fare evasion actually takes place on Metrorail. Metro is always going to be in this boom and bus cycle of funding. Enforcing fares at the threat of arrest will not change that.[/quote]
