Quote: But I have a choice. I can simply not take the subway. If I choose to ride, I will cooperate with the police
Bogus argument. Many-probably the majority of people have no choice but to ride the subway.
They can move all walk or drive wherever they need to go. And if those options are too onerous for them, they can go live somewhere else.
This silly idea that people have "no choice but to ride the subway" is precisely how a place like New York City has ended up with a mass transit system that is over-crowded with passengers who pay very low fares to get from Point A to Point B.
