Was it a Chick-fil-A sandwich?
Selective enforcement renders a law invalid and not binding. At one time, the ACLU made people aware of that fact.
This is CA, where you can pee on the streets.
Perfect example of what statism gets you. Totalitarian fascism. They use their power to destroy your life. Encourages the folks to become bleating, submissive sheep, in fear of committing a “crime”.
What I think of government fascism would get me banned on this platform.
If you read the story, the cop was trying to write him a ticket but he wouldn’t cooperate. (at least that was in the story I read yesterday) It appears to me the cop is holding the bag to keep the guy from walking away as he clearly refusing to comply.
Which might partially explain why Kalifornistan has the totalitarian government that it does. I wonder what percentage of the riders voted for Gavin Noisome? Hillary? Pelosi? Feinstein?
[False. He was handcuffed for resisting arrest and failing to identify himself.]
The cop was ask why he was being detained, cop said because he’s eating. Didn’t quote a specific statute, etc.
Wasn’t until well into the interaction that there was a resistance of arrest.
In the story I read yesterday, which was a news story, the cop had previously walked past him and told him he could not eat there.
You’ve got some boot polish on your lip.
It is amusing how you’re so proud of this arrest because its a clearly posted law.
So is shooting up in a BART station.
Bottom line...when a cop stops you co-operate. Period.
but in San Fran, you can still poop and pee on the train platforms with impunity, right? I guess you could also do that IN the cars as long as they were under SF ...
He should have explained that since it’s perfectly OK for him to take a crap there, he was just engaging in the necessary precursor activity, and to arrest him for eating a sandwich is to deny him his right to later poop in public.
I watched the entire video.
The man:
-Didn’t say “sorry” and offer to put the sandwich away.
-argued with an officer who was just doing his job.
-refused to provide ID.
-didn’t cooperate at all.
-Seemed to want go to jail.
I hope it was a good sandwich worthy of going to jail for.
“For some reason, there’s a prohibition on eating or drinking on or near anything to do with public transit, in many transit systems around the globe. I don’t understand why this stricture exists.”
For what it’s worth (zero!), I like the rule. I used to commute into NYC and on the ride home, often somebody near me would be eating something smelly such as Indian food or something loud and crunchy like a loaf of bread. (Yes, they sell loaves of bread in Grand Central which some people eat on the train home. There is a brilliant eating habit.) Anyway, I would prefer a quiet, non-smelly ride home without crumbs on the seats and food liter on the floor. (Drinking is allowed, which I am all for!)
It was a stupid biased propaganda article designed to create outrage among the anti police types, among a great majority who commented on the article.
Eating in transit areas brings litter, garbage and rats. Duh. You have to be particularly stupid not to understand the reason for the law.
This clown was warned once and chose to disobey the law. Too bad.
The officer was actually trying to reason with the man.
Same place with a new communist terrorist Scion district attorney who won’t prosecute against openly sh*tting on the public streets
Hey stupid, what state are you licensed to practice law in? I didn’t think so.
Selective enforcement does not invalidate a law.
Bingo! When people ask if there might be non-human, completely-alien life forms anywhere in the universe, I tell them, "Sure - just go to California!"...
State of Californication. Shit on streets is okay! A possible food wrapper, though, gets you handcuffed and arrested a dnc paradise ! ( just open carry a drinking straw and they’ll crucify you right there in Union Square!? ).
