I disagree. There are posted rules against all three of the aforementioned activities. When I pay my fare, I'm agreeing to abide by those rules as is everyone else. As a conservative, I think these rules should be both abided by and enforced.

Can we agree that
1. The regulations are just, reasonable and beneficial
2. The woman is not innocent
3. The case is an example of police handling a regulation poorly
4. An officer handling a regulation poorly does not mean that any fault lies in the regulation
5. under-zealous law enforcement is a very sever problem, and the example of an over-zealous officer should not be blown out of proportion to the extent that it forces officers to become under-zealous
6. But the officer should be corrected, in a manner that is not also over-zealous: something that has a definite but temporary effect on him (as opposed to permanently scarring his record.)
Fair enough.
